. RENAISSANCE 1983 UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND KINGSTON, RHODE ISLAND 02881 2 Opening S omething special happens when Route 138 suddenly stops passing through Rhode Island ' s rural country-side and begins to form URI ' s southern border. After miles of cow-filled clearings, barns and tiny hamlets, a university with hundreds of buildings and thousands of people unexpectedly appears. At first glance, it seems a bit out of place with its surroundings. One wouldn ' t expect to find the state ' s largest university nestled in a pastoral setting with country stores, historic homes and turf farms. But on second thought, (or possibly a few years of getting to know this place), it ' s not hard to see that URI fits in perfectly. It fits in because URI is dozens of things all at the same time. It ' s a school rife with history but look- ing toward the future. For exam- ple, while the stone buildings on the Quad are a link to the past, the Chafee Social Sciences tower is the tallest building in the county. And yet they fit together to make URI what it is physically. It ' s a school dominated by students from Rhode Island, but still has an international flavor and thousands of students from out of state. Together, with staff from around the block and professors from around the world, they form URI ' s community of people. Opening 3 Those are just two parts of the Big Difference about URI — the special flavor it has when all its components are mixed together. It ' s easy to think there are other schools like URI, but it ' s safe to say none can come close to matching it. There ' s something different about URI and this year ' s Renaissance is going to try and pin down just what that Big Difference is. From the people to the place, from the athletics to the academics, from the happy times to the sad ones, from the campus to the Bay — it ' s all part of URI. 4 Opening Opening 5 6 Opening Maybe it ' s impossible to say ex- actly what the Big Difference is. The URI experience is unique to every person who has been to school here and each one will take something different away from it. But there are things common to all of us who have spent an important slice of our lives here growing, learning and changing. Most likely, one will find the Big Difference is really a series of small ones we ' re all familiar with that come together to form a University community unlike any other. And the perception of those small differences will vary from person to person. But that ' s what it ' s all about. Each section of this book will focus on those differences. Somewhere between the front and back covers the small differences will all fit together to form the Big Difference and you ' ll remember just how special a place URI really is.

As he too is departing from the University, President Newman has written a special farewell message to the graduating class of 1983. He will be greatly missed. To President Frank Newman — The Best of Luck! Frank Newman President University of Rhode Island 1974-1983 10 President ' s Message University of Rhode Island. Kingston. R. I. 02881 Office of the President. 401-792-2444 To the Graduating Class of 1983: Often, as I walk across the quadrangle in the early spring evenings on the way home from the office, I am struck by the same sequence of thoughts. First, I am struck by the peacefulness and beauty of the campus — so different from the bustle at ten minutes to eleven — when the quadrangle is crawling with students as classes change. In the evening there is a different air. When it is crowded there is an air of excitement, of purpose that is gratifying. But the loveliness of the campus — with the pathways cleared and the benches emptied of their earnest duos — has a captivating, though gentle spirit. It seems a reminder that the life of the mind requires tranquility on occasion more than activity. These thoughts usually lead, in turn, to a realization of the timelessness of the University. We laugh over the old fashioned clothes and stilted poses in those black and white photographs of students in 1911 or 1932, but beneath those surfaces they seem fundamentally the same as students now. They went to class, worried about their careers, did not write home enough, talked to each other until the early morning. In a time of confusion over public purposes, it gives one a sense of security to realize that universities, while they appear fragile, are in truth some of the most durable of institutions. I would bet that the University of Rhode Island will be a going concern in the year 2000 sooner than I would bet on General Motors. Inevitably, this in turn leads me to the next thought — durable, yes, but constantly changing as well. How little the granite exteriors of the buildings reveal the tremendous changes inside. Passing Pastore Hall, I fall to thinking about the graduate students I watched, proudly displaying the latest in sophisticated instrumentation, and without quite intending to, revealing their own sophistication as well. Before long my memory cells pour out a mass of images: spectrophotometers, electron microscopes, computers big and small. But wait, the old brain says, there is stability as well. We are still teaching History and English and Philosophy. If anything, there is more emphasis on the centrality of these subjects and of the need for a liberal education than at any time in the last thirty years. Yes, but these subjects are changing in their own ways. Suddenly, I am reminded of all those Faculty Senate debates on the curriculum. Fortunately, there is just time as I turn toward the graceful white house which serves as the President ' s residence, to realize that the Senate debates, as important as they are, the budgets and meetings, and meetings and budgets, are not the entral parts of this grand old place. The central parts are the students — bright, cheerful, confused learning, struggling — but inevitably optimistic ... the faculty and staff — hard working, knowledgeable and caring deeply about the world of the University and the world beyond . . . and the ever-present beauty of the campus. Graduation is almost here. It is hard to think of leaving this institution. My love for it runs deeper than I have realized. Frank Newman, President President ' s Message 11 12 STUDENT LIFE 13 The Joys and Sorrows of MOVING IN A nticipation is the best part about starting a new semester. Driving down Route 138 in early September, URI students have many thoughts racing through their minds as they ap- proach campus: What will this year be like? Will I like my room- mate? What will my dorm be like? How will I do in my classes? Will I finally be able to get a job on cam- pus? What have my friends been up to? As they eagerly turn onto But- terfield Road, the excitement grows — just as does the line of cars waiting to be unloaded in front of the dorms and the piles of trash accumulating at the dumpsters. Moving In Day! It means meeting new people, getting reac- quainted with others, sharing news of the past summer and set- ting up house in a tiny cubicle. It ' s the best day of the semester. It ' s also the worst day of the semester. It means fighting for a parking space at least within a mile of your dorm. It means unloading your belongs on the sidewalk only to find that someone else has just car- ried away one of your suitcases. And it means lugging boxes up three flights of stairs in the sweltering heat of an Indian summer. And the problem with Moving In Day is that it ' s always associated with the chaos of Registration and the hassle of running errands around campus. But whether you love it or hate it. Moving In Day is a day to remember, ang Joann Muller 14 Moving In Moving In 15 E very day, thousands of students converge on the place we call the Union — to pick up something at the bookstore, to sit and chat with friends or just to pass through on their way to class. Although it ' s not located in the exact geographical center of the campus, the Memorial Union is a place around which much of the URI community revolves. It ' s a building just for students — a place to get away from it all and, at the same time, a place to get in- volved in it all. Some choose to go there to relax in the Ram ' s Den or the Commuter Lounge while others choose to busy themselves with the myriad of activities available . there: the Student Senate, The Cigar, Renaissance, the Union Board, the Student Entertainment Committee and WRIU among many others. Because the students at URI are enrolled in such widely diversified curriculums, they spend much of their academic lives in the same group of buildings. But what makes the Memorial Union dif- ferent is that it ' s the one place that every student shares, the one building that everyone has in common. ‘OEg 16 Union Joann Muller The Union Provides URI Students With Life Between Classes The Union 17 ►The URI Bookstore. That place every student must go at least once a semester. And although these particular visits may be rather unpleasant, there are other times when the bookstore can be a lot of fun. A favorite pastime for students is to stand near the back of the store and read all the magazines from cover to cover — and then put them back without buying them. The candy shop is also very popular — especially for Secret Santa gifts and items for sorority raids. The bookstore also carries greeting cards, posters, sportswear, toiletries, munchies, stationery, records and knick-knacks — to satisfy just about every student ' s needs. Business as Usual Union Businesses Strive on Student Patronage ◄This shop on the first floor of the Union is the place everyone goes when they suddenly remember it ' s their roommate ' s birthday and they don ' t have time to go to Wakefield to look for a gift. It carries clothing and accessories for both men and women at reasonable prices. It ' s also a great place to browse when you need to kill a little time bet- ween classes. ◄URI is notorious for its long lines of students and one of the best known lines is the one that winds its way around the tiny branch of Rhode Island Hospital Trust bank on the first floor of the Union. For- tunately, Hospital Trust offers ins- tant teller machines for those who don ' t want to stand in line all day. But while these little machines are a convenience to some, they can also be quite dangerous. That ' s because it ' s very easy — in fact, much too easy — to walk up to the machine, punch a few buttons and come away with plenty of money for a night out. It ' s fun for a while — until you realize there ' s nothing left in your account to withdraw and the machine eats your card. 18 Union Businesses McANDREV AGENCY ►Two tenants relocated into the old billiards room: Copyright and Two-Lips. Copyright is quick and convenient place to go for all co- pying and printing services. Elec- tric typewriters are also available on a first-come, first-serve basis. ◄Next door, Two-Lips sells roses, carnations and other fresh flowers to those who love a touch of romance or friendship. ◄URI ' s own unisex hair salon. Total Image, is one of the least ex- pensive — and most convenient — places to get a haircut these days. For just $11, you can have your hair washed, cut and blown dry — just in time to impress Mom and Dad. Ear piercing is also available here. ►Almost hidden under the stairs in the Memorial Union, Stillman- McAndrew Travel Agency is a busy place — especially on Friday afternoons. That ' s when hundreds of students rush in to buy their bus or train tickets home for the weekend. Plane flights and vaca- tions can also be arranged through this tiny office. ►The KSS Record Coop (formerly known as Cellar Sights and Sounds) has a wide selection of LPs — from pop to new wave — and popular magazines for sale. For those who prefer recording their own tapes, the Record Coop also sells blank tapes and other accessories. ◄The Ram ' s Den is located on the top floor of the Union and it has a variety of uses, one being for its main purpose — eating. It is one of the main and most crowded meeting place and social gather- ing on the campus. It is mostly fre- quented by upperclassmen who live down-the-line and use the Ram ' s Den as an eating place. It is also the most popular “hang” for those who either want to blow off classes or studying. Union Busi Midnight Munchies Satisfying You ' re sitting in your room minding your own business when suddenly your neighbor bursts into the room screaming that there are only seconds left before the last pizza delivery to URI. You fly from your chair with blinding speed to the nearest telephone to make your order for that product of fine cuisine. The phone rings once, then twice, and once again, then a friendly voice answers with a charming greeting. You attempts to make your order only to find that the deliveries have ended only seconds ago. You place the order anyway, knowing that somehow, some way your mun- chie drive will get you to that fine eating establishment known as a pizza joint. You bolt to your car through the freezing rain, slipping and sliding the entire way and, hor- 1 rors of horrors, the car won ' t start! You can practically taste that tantalizing morsel of fine 20 Munchies Those Late-Night Cravings cuisine, the smell of the grease, the burning sensation of the hot cheese against the roof of your mouth; you can ' t take it anymore! You leave your car with a hefty kick and start your journey on foot. The cold rain is now snow and there is mud everywhere. But that doesn ' t stop you. The wind has picked up, you know this to be true because a dog just went by . . . airborn. But this still can ' t keep down that munchie drive, you fight the elements the entire way until way off on the horizon you see the glimmering neon light which has brought you to this vision of sanctuary. The storm has now become a blinding rage. You approach the door and crawl into the warm friendly place, a prisoner of your own desires. Then you see it. It ' s beautiful! The soft flowing curves, the tantalizing aroma, you sink your teeth into this pro- duct of your desires and realize that you ' ve had your fix. ' en n, John Tuccillo What??

The eight-year-old Bubble covering the track in the Keaney Complex collapsed the first weekend of the Spring semester because of accumulated snow and ice on the Bubble ' s skin which caused it to tear. Temporary repairs totalling about $30,000 got under way soon afterward, and the Bub- ble, which was to have had a life expectancy of only eight years, slowly began to reinflate. When fully inflated, work began inside the bubble to repair the cedar track which officials said tends to warp if it gets wet. Before the work was completed and the Bubble reopened, however, it collapsed a se- cond time, also due to inclement weather. This time, officials were uncertain about the future of the structure and said it was doubtful the Bubble would be open before summer recess. In the meantime, the University is consider- ing the feasibility of repairing the Bubble or of building another facility, such as a fieldhouse. ■ones Lisa Bachhuber 22 Bubble i What does the future hold for the bubble? ► The bubble in fuller days.

It ' s a family of plastic Rhode Island Red Chickens perched on a mailbox that has been delighting passers-by for the past 21 years. Their keeper, Antoinetta Good- win, affectionately known as The Chicken Lady, takes great pleasure displaying the chickens dressed in outfits she makes herself. Each new season, holiday, or other event brings out a new wardrobe for the chickens: the start of the football season, the wedding of URI students she has befriended or any other occur- rence pertaining to URI or the Kingston area. Mrs. Goodwin started deco- rating the mailbox in October 1961 with her brother. 24 Chicken Lady They were carving pumpkins and she decided to put yellow pigtails on one and display it on the mailbox to amuse the mailman. Then at Thanksgiving, her hus- band made a chicken wire cor- nucopia as a mailbox decoration. What started out as a small amusement developed into more elaborate decorations such as a small Christmas tree and a velvet- covered Valentine ' s Day heart. Soon after that she came up with the idea of using the Rhode Island Red as her decoration for the mailbox. I looked all over the place for a plastic chicken and finally found one in an Ann Hope store. Now my niece sends them to me as birthday presents whenever she can get her hands on one. From her small beginnings Mrs. Goodwin has built up quite a col- lection of chickens. I added a mate and two baby chicks and now I have six families (sets) of them in my chicken coop, she said. She has approximately ten full-sized chickens in her workshop; some are unusable, so they are used if a part is needed for another that has been damaged. In the workshop Mrs. Goodwin has a wide variety of outfits for the chickens; from rain gear (which she said is everyone ' s favorite) to the wedding outfit. On Thanksgiv- ing she dresses them up as pilgrims, complete with tall, black hats. The chickens wear hand- knitted sweaters when the weather gets cold and their hair is real hair that Mrs. Goodwin artful- ly arranges. Unfortunately the mailbox has been the target of vandals, causing Mrs. Goodwin to bring the chickens into her workshop every evening. But she said she doesn ' t mind doing this and she plans to cqntinue displaying the chickens. Once Mrs. Goodwin received a Good Citizenship Award from URI for her mailbox. Since 1976 she has headed a drive to restore a veterans memorial that she found in the basement of a town building and now has stored in her garage. Mrs. Goodwin has also under- taken town beautification pro- jects, such as planting flowers on town-owned land. Mrs. Goodwin however, is most well known for her mailbox. There ' s no doubt The Chicken Lady has the most famous mailbox on Route 138 and she said several people stop by each day to ask her about the chickens. She also gets mail from all over the country from people who have seen her mailbox. She said she feels flattered when people compliment her on the chickens, but the best thing is watching how many people smile when they pass my mailbox. tjto, Joann Muller Chicken Lady 25 LINES: No matter how much you avoid them, you always get caught in one. The first thing you notice as a URI freshman is all the lines you must wait in. After the aggravation of waiting in lines at Registration for classes which are already filled, you may think you ' re through . . . but you soon find out how wrong you were. Everywhere you go . . . lines, lines, lines. First thing in the morning, there ' s a line for the shower; that ' s not too fun if you woke up 20 minutes late and you have an exam in your first class. You finally make it to the dining hall (with wet hair) and you ' re greeted by a long line for breakfast. Commuters have their fair share of lines too — the lines at the traffic lights and then the lines at the Ram ' s Den to get the breakfast you missed because you were running late. As one student observed, If you don ' t have much time, forget trying to get something hot because by the time you get it, the class you were running to is over. The dining halls are notorious for long lines, especially on breakfast night at Hope, but it ' s no big deal — it gives students a chance to see what looks good or what is edible and they have time to decide if a PB J is a safer choice. 26 Lines If there ' s a concert being held on campus be prepared to cut a few classes while waiting in line to buy tickets. Before you know it, pre-registration rolls around, and you have to wait in lines all over again to sign up for an ap- pointment with your advisor. Lines at the bookstore can be ex- cruciating if you ' re buying all your books for the semester and have to hold them forever while waiting to check out. The bank and the Bursar ' s Office always have lines; I sometimes think people stand in those lines just to be bothersome to those of us who really have to be there. There ' s never a line at the Informa- tion Desk in the Union, just a crowd. You have to be pushy to get your newspaper, stamps, or change for a dollar. The best thing to do when you fear you ' ll be faced with those dreadful lines is to bring along a talkative friend or a book — and lots of patience, ting, Jean McLaughlin Lines 27 r “c Rll r HHifl | � l ' yUiigi 1 1 fe 1 1 fV Bal Greek Week 29 SV Y ) vm 1 ™ [•AjLs | 1 1 11 A First at URI International Olympics T he International Student Association, a group whose members share their different cultural heritages, ideas and customs, sponsored many events in 1982-83: a welcome barbeque, an English-as-a-Second-Language program for students and their families, an international food fair, arts and crafts exhibits, a fashion show and a dinner dance. But the highlight of the year for this organization was the New England International Olympics, held for the first time at URI. The event began in 1978 at Babson College in Wellesley, Mass. That year students from 10 schools com- peted; this year, 900 athletes representing 20 schools converged at URI for the New England Inter- national Olympics. The competition, which was held April 16, included a number of sports contests and social activities. All the funds raised that day were donated to UNICEF. The event began with an Olympic torch run from Babson to URI on April 15 and 16. Student run- 32 International Olympics ners from all participating colleges and universities ran one and two- mile legs, carrying the torch the entire 100-mile distance. The torch run finished Saturday morning at Keaney Gym, marking the open- ing ceremonies. Athletes competed in a variety of sports including backgammon, cross country, soc- cer, swimming, volleyball and basketball. Also, social activities included a concert, an interna- tional lunch and a formal dinner dance at the close of the ceremonies. More than $3,000 was raised for UNICEF during the Olympics, which included a raffle for a grand prize trip for two to Paris. Included among the winners in the International Olympics were URI ' s volleyball and soccer teams. Much of the success of the New England International Olympics can be credited to the URI Interna- tional Student Association. Indeed, their special contributions throughout the year were enjoyed by the entire URI community, smg, Trish Gingras International Olympics 33 Resident Students G ripped with apprehension, I slid the tiny key into the doorknob and gently pushed open the wooden door. I peeked into the room which would be my home for the next nine months and then turned back with an agonizing look at my mother who was leav- ing me off to start my first year of college. The room was horrendous. One wall was painted red, another pur- ple, another green and another white. The radiator pipes were covered in yellow-and-green- flowered contact paper and a pair of drab curtains, heavy with ac- dirt and grime, were drawn shut across the large window. “It could be worse, I told myself as I flung open the cur- tains, sprinkling myself with a shower of dust. With a coat of paint . . . a short while, that tiny mce so cold and empty, became the site of many fond memories. It was a place where friendships were born, friendships that will last forever. It was a place for studying (every once in -while) and a place for partying. It was a place for thinking, or just relaxing. And it was a place where decisions were made — about school, about life, about me. A special place. But dorm life wasn ' t perfect. There were fire drills in the mid- dle of the night and lines for the showers in the morning. There were pay phones in the hallway which would ring for hours because everyone was too lazy to answer them. There was garbage in the hall and stale beer on the floor after the weekend ' s parties. And there was never enough toilet paper in the bathrooms because somebody always insisted on decorating the trees with it on Thursday nights. But still, dorm life was . . . well fun. The parties, late-night pop- corn feasts, soap operas, ice cream sundaes, stereo wars and practical jokes — all part of an experience unlike any other. Maybe it was just a time for growing up while having fun being a kid. msn, Joann Muller 34 Dorm Life Dorm Life 35 Dorm Life URI ' s Big Difference to Living Off-Campus Down-the-Line D amn! The only thing we ever get is bills! Sound like your parents? If you live down-the- line then more than likely, it ' s a phrase you ' ve heard yourself say- ing. Paying bills every month (also known as budgeting your finan- cial resources) is one of the major differences between living on campus in a dorm or a Greek house and living off campus. URI ' s proximity to southern Rhode Island beaches makes it possible for students to rent houses along the shore. And it really is a good deal . . . How many of your friends who attend other colleges can say they have a house on the beach? But along with the luxury of having your own place to call home, there are, of course, a few strings attached . . . — It ' s impossible to roll out of bed at 7:30 a.m. and make it to an eight o ' clock class on time. — Without a car, your schedule coincides with the bus schedule. — With a car, a prayer every night that your car starts the next morning and a wish that the $3 left in your pocket will move the gas gauge at least to V4 tank. — And you thought dining hall food was bad! Just imagine what a week ' s menu consists of when you can buy a month ' s worth of groceries and still go through the express check-out line! — A broken refrigerator and a landlord who lives in Florida and doesn ' t return the messages on his telephone answering machine. The combined freedoms and responsibilities of living off cam- pus represent another difference in our lives. It is from differences that we learn and each one offers an opportunity for us to grow one step closer to independence. saEg, Trish Gingras Down-the-Line 37 cont A Different Experience in Campus Living GREEK O ne of the advantages URI has to offer is the variety of lifestyles available. Greek life is one option chosen by about 14 per- cent of the students here. There are many reasons — academic, social or personal — a student may choose the Greek life, but once a part of it, one realizes a fraternity or sorority is so much more than a place to live. There is a true sense of commit- ment, involvement and a feeling of belonging. The Greek system is alive and well at URI and the re- establishment of a sorority that has not been on this campus since the Vietnam War (Alpha Epsilon Phi) will testify to this. Greeks feel a certain, in- describable sense of pride for their house and the system in general. Although the Greeks are far from being a majority, they are strong in spirit and activity. Greek Week was held this year from April 11-16 and was highlighted by events such as the tug-o-war, chariot display, and of course, the traditional Greek Sing. 40 Greek Life LIFE Other traditional events include Greek happy hours, held each month at a different fraternity. These Friday afternoon rituals give Greeks a chance to come together under one roof. Although each house is unique and special in its own way, the system is one of unity and dependence. For what fun would the sorority run around Fraternity Circle on Bids Day be without fraternity brothers perched on their roofs armed with water balloons? And what about the Bids Dance held anually? Hundreds of Greeks gather together at Rocky Point Palladium to dance the night away . . . and lose their dates amidst the crowd. These are just a few of the many things about Greek life that make it part of the Big Difference about URI. Greek life is one of tradition, cooperation and a special love we will remember long after we leave URI Kathy Rainaldi Greek Life 41 A Student ' s Playtime WHAT TO w DO?

Thank God for Happy Hours! They ' re an excuse to drink before dinner, a reason to drink twice as much (Hey! I saved money!) and a time to go crazy after life at URI got to be just a little unbearable. Happy hours are the salvation of every URI student, a tem- porary escape from the pro- blems and pressures of college life. Surrounded by friends, we laugh and drink, talk and drink, eat and drink, drink and drink. How often we find ourselves seated at the bar in Casey ' s, a drink in each hand, toasting everyone and everything. Or maybe instead we take a quick, late afternoon trip to Maxi ' s before dinner. (Funny ... we never quite make it back to Butterfield before it closes. Or we return to our houses down-the-line and collapse on the sofa without the strength to reach the kitchen.) On Fridays, we have to gob- ble down our dinner to make it to Caesar ' s by 7 o ' clock for a bar position. It seems that every local drinking establishment offers some kind of drink special to satisfy even the most im- poverished college student: two-fers, $1.50 pitchers, happy hour prices, open bar and ladies night. They ' re all part of our never-ending opportunity to celebrate, socialize, forget or console. Happy hours. The place to be.

To him, the [University resembles a small city ! compared to the rural villages i which surround it. But to those of us who know the i University, who have made it our i home for four or more years, URI I is not an isolated community. True, it has its own identity, but it is really just a small part of a much . larger world. One of the big differences about URI is that although it ' s situated in a relaxed country atmosphere, it ' s just a short drive from many of the largest cities in the Northeast: Boston, New York, Hartford and Providence. Only minutes away from the campus is the small town of Wakefield, a place where students can find almost everything they need: supermarkets, fast food chains, banks, garage mechanics and of course, liquor stores. When students want to shop at some of the big name retail clothing stores like Jordan Marsh and Filene ' s, they merely have to jump in the car and head for the Warwick and Midland Malls, just 30 minutes from URI. Another popular shopping place is Newport ' s Brick Market and Bowen ' s Wharf — a potpourri of specialty shops and restaurants. And, with its lovely beaches, historic mansions and exciting nightlife, Newport has consistent- ly been a center of activity for URI students. Much closer to home, however, and just as popular, are South County ' s gorgeous beaches: Nar- ragansett, Scarborough, Galilee, Matunuck and Misquamicut. In the spring, many students often take advantage of the warm weather to ride the Block Island ferry and spend the day riding bicycles around the island.

Much of the success of the referendum was at- tributed to the strong campaign coordinated by the Student Senate, the University ' s public relations of- fice, the Alumni Association, President Frank Newman, and a handful of politicians. In the weeks before the election, campaigners for the referendum travelled to busy shopping centers and visited homes throughout the state seeking sup- port for the referendum. At the same time. Student Senate leaders held a very successful voter registra- tion drive at UR1, encouraging students to vote this year. Then on the night before the election, 60 people made phone calls to about 1,500 parents of URI students throughout the state reminding them to vote. And on Election Day, while campaigners passed out literature, more than 144,000 voters entered the state ' s polling places and voted yes on Referendum 8 . The $4.6 million approved for URI will be divided among four projects: $1.5 million for additions and modernizations to the Pastore Chemical Building; $1 million for the construction of a new com- puter science center near Tyler Hall; $1 million for improvements in four laboratory buildings; $1.1 million for a new water distribution system at the Narragansett Bay campus. These projects, long neglected because of a lack of funding, will now become realities for URI. ‘OEg Joann Muller Referendum Those D H o PO O M ft N S R 2D2 from Star Wars maybe? How about Rosie, George Jet- son ' s maid? What do both of these have in common? They ' re robots, of course! However if you asked Pro- fessor Robert Kelley at URI ' s Robotics Research Center, he would probably have a different impres- sion of robots. The robot arms in the center ' s lab are just as their name implies; mechanical arms, unat- tached to any moving robot as we ' ve been programmed to imagine them. The Robotics Research Center was formally set up at URI in the fall of 1980 following nearly a decade of research and robot building by Prof. John Birk and his students and associates. Under the direction of Prof. Kelley, from the Dept, of Electrical Engineering, the center works toward improving the capabilities of robots and increasing the ap- plication of robot technology within industry. Faculty ana students from industrial, mechanical and electrical engineer- ing disciplines, graduate students and visiting engineers from foreign countries participate in the program. 60 Robotics The Center is administered through URI ' s College of Engineering, but functions as a separate entity, with its own full- time staff in addition to the researchers mentioned above. It is funded mainly from outside sources: The National Science Foundation and approximately 30 nation-wide firms involved in the Industry Participation Program. Projects undertaken by the research team are derived from generic problems within the in- dustry, according to Nancy Har- rison, staff assistant at the Center. We are not consultants who solve problems for individual com- panies. Instead, companies send us information on problems they think might have robotic solu- tions; we look for common themes, and then structure our research projects around them. The projects undertaken generally are oriented toward making the robot more sensitive or intelligent. An example is the bin-picking problem. Once a necessary part is in any robot ' s grasp, it can then be placed in almost any location desired. URI ' s researchers, through a variety of hand designs, special sensors, and machine vision, have given their robot ' s mechanical arm the ability to select the needed part from a pile in a storage bin — something not possible before with any useful accuracy. This system is one of several patents held by Dr. Birk and his associates. The Robotics Research Center is beneficial from two perspectives. To industry, it represents an op- portunity for cost saving. Certain human-labor problems can be avoided, such as fatigue, varying skill levels or inconsistency. (It is estimated that purchases of robotic technology will reach $2 billion by 1990. There are just as many benefits for students and URI in general. Among these are: hands-on ex- perience in making the potential of this technology a reality, contact with industry representatives and business meetings in the actual business environment. The pro- gram also draws industry representatives to the area, expos- ing them to the resources of Rhode Island and the entire New England region. URI has attracted national recognition for the innovations produced in the robotics lab. The Robotics Research Center is indeed an asset to URI, one which dif- ferentiates it from the rest, ■aug, Trish Gringas (Information provided by the Robotics Research Center) Robotics 61 Knock, knock, knock . . .

Places to Study I T hroughout our years here at I URI, one of the biggest pro- blems seems to have been finding a place to study. Of course, this is after we found the time in our busy social agendas to do what we were here to do. Although studying may npt have been first on our lists of things to do, there were times in everyone ' s lives when we had to get some work done. Didn ' t it seem that whenever you thought you ' d found that perfect place to study, somebody else found it too? Well with some imagination we all managed somehow. Many of us used the URI Library. Of course you had to get there early — any later than 5:30 p.m. and you wound up spen- ding an hour looking for a place to sit. How much studying can you do sitting next to a huge fan blowing hot air into your face? And whatever happened to that rule of ' ' NO TALKING IN THE LIBRARY?” How much reading could you accomplish listening to . . . and then he said . . . then she said . . . and blah, blah . . .? But then again what better place is there to socialize than a library packed with students just like yourself? Wasn ' t it fun to just sit and watch the people go by ... so much for studying! Some of us felt that the Library was inconvenient. Wasn ' t it better to just stay in your room and pray for someone to come knocking? You could always be sure of finding a month-old newspaper that you just had to reread. And what better time to catch up on your letter-writing than the night before your calculus test? If you lived down-the-line, the problem of visitors was cut down somewhat. Of course, there were new distractions like being so close to the beach and so close to the bars. Who could resist the thou ght of that mind-clearing” walk on the beach or that relaxing jaunt to the bar, just for one. Last but not least there was the Union. Memories of pseudo- studying in the Ram ' s Den — it was even better than the Library. But for those serious, all-business times there were an abundance of study rooms. A big favorite was the Brows- ing Room.

On Jan. 28, Atlantic City came to URI as part of a major fundraiser for the University Library. For a small donation, those who felt lucky received a supply of gambling chips and a chance to win more. There were all the elements of a professional casino: card games, dice tables, gambling wheels, hors d ' oeuvres and authentic costumes. The evening ended with an auction of items donated by various URI organiza- tions and local establishments. More than 15 organizations, in- cluding Weekenders, the Student Senate, Renaissance, RIPIRG, the Alumni Association and the Stu- dent Entertainment Committee, sponsored the event which raised about $3000 for the Library, ocg Nancy Abrams Atlantic City Night How to Be a U.R.I.

On the list of changes are: 1) a plus-minus system of grading, 2) the addition of a Program Average on freshman grade reports and 3) a raise in the GPA requirements for Dean ' s List from 3.0 to 3.3. First on the list of grading dif- ference is the appearance of a plus-minus grading system. No longer can one get by with just making a grade — an A is a 4.0 and not much less. Now a student will get an A, or 3.7, if he she isn ' t ex- actly up to par. This can both help or hurt a student, a B+ is better than a B by 0.3, but a B is only worth 2.7. A C+ is worth 2.3, C 2.0, C 1.7, D+ 1.3, D 1.0, andFO. The program average was added to freshman grade reports so that a student may evaluate how well he she is doing compared to other students enrolled in the same course. An explanation of the PA on the back of each grade report describes it as a, calculation of the average grade of all students registered in the section of courses listed on this grade report. Now a student can tell how well they ' ve done in their classes as compared to their sections. Last, but certainly not least, is the new GPA requirement for Dean ' s List. Prior to the Spring Semester of 1983, the GPA re- quired for Dean ' s List was 3.0 for freshmen and sophomores and 3.2 for juniors and seniors. Now there is a uniform average of 3.3 for all classes, the GPA required to graduate with honors. All these new changes may make it more difficult for a student to get a high cum at URI, but this difference will certainly make the student body work a little harder for that ultimate goal of graduating with honors, ' ang Jean McLaughlin W hile this book is an attempt to reflect the Big Difference — the things that make URI dif- ferent from other schools — it isn ' t easy for the average American stu- dent to understand how this school differs from foreign univer- sities. The minute distinctions among schools are often magnified when there are underlying cultural differences between two - countries. The following observations about the differences between American and African universities were made by Emmanuel Amadife, a URI graduate student in political science. Competition for admission to . the limited number of African universities is keen. Entrance re- quirements for most African . universities, particularly those in West and East Africa, include the General Certificate of Education (GCE), the West African School or Higher School Certificate, or the Baccalaureate. Because of the rigorous competition, most univer- sities are filled with students from areas with the most developed primary and secondary schools in Africa. Some universities in Africa are geared to provide disciplines which satisfy local needs, such as agriculture, education or ad- ministration, while others offer programs which fulfill interna- tional standards such as forestry, veterinary science and tropical medicine. Most African universities do not offer financial aid programs like College Work Study, so many students must absorb a good por- tion of their education expenses themselves. Some students ' educa- tion is sponsored by the govern- ment or other organizations, however. As in the United States, some teaching assistant positions are available, but in Africa, their award is highly competitive. Many departments also have research facilities similar to the United States, particularly in applied A sciences. Almost all early African univer- sities started as overseas extensions of European metropolitan institu- tions, and therefore they have been greatly influenced by the educational guidelines of Great Britain, France and Belgium. Many of these colonial ties are loosening now, however, and these institu- tions are beginning to adopt their own African orientation. Most African universities have inherited the British pattern of ad- ministration and teaching styles. Instead of having a president of a university as in the United States, African universities have a chancellor. Academic classes are taught in both mass lectures and small tutorials. In Africa, academic departments are grouped under faculties, rather than colleges, as they are in the United States. For instance, the departments of English, history and Bible Knowledge are all within the Faculty of Arts. Unlike the two-semester calen- dar common in many American universities, most African univer- sities operate under a three-term system: October to December, January to March and April to June. And there is usually only one final exam each year. Freshmen cannot take more than four subjects, and by the time they are in their third year, African students are limited to two subjects, or one honors course. The grading system is different from the United States ' letter system. Grades simply range from Excellent (75 and above), Very Good (65-75), Good (50-64), Fair (40-49) to Fail (39 and below). Unlike the United States, where many universities are located in urban areas, African institutions are usually located in the outskirts of the cities, isolating the academic community from the rest of the world. One might assume that institu- tional food is the same at any university, but in Africa, the types ■ ; • ■ . i - - . - Foreign Student ' s Comparison An American University vs. An African University of food eaten depend on the region of the country the school is located in. Generally, however, breakfast would include eggs and bacon with bread and tea. Lunch may feature rice and other local foods, such as fufu or black eyed peas and yams, while dinner might be stew or sweet potatoes with peas and corn bread. Styles of clothing also differ within the country, but in some conservative universities, pro- fessors require students in the Humanities, such as Theology, to wear academic gowns to their classes. Some schools prefer students to wear gowns only when taking the final exam. On the whole, American univer- sities have a wider scope and cur- riculum than their African counterparts, which tend to be more narrow and focused. Never- theless, in the final analysis, the level and quality of the degree ob- tained in both systems are indeed very comparable. Different Ui 69 The Different Faces of W3Q ■Although most people are familiar with the Kingston cam- pus, many are unaware that there are three other URI campuses in the state. And each campus has its own very special characteristics and fulfills its own mission for the University. In addition to the main campus in Kingston, there are also the Nar- ragansett Bay Campus, the Exten- sion in downtown Providence and the Alton Jones Campus in West Greenwich. The Bay campus is located about six miles from the Kingston cam- pus and overlooks Narragansett Bay. It is used mainly as a research facility. The Graduate School of Oceanography, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Pell Marine Science Library and the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center are located on the 165-acre Bay cam- pus. It is also the site of a research aquarium, an atomic research 70 Other URI Campuses reactor and the research vessel. Endeavor. The three-story Extension building in Providence has been the property of the University since the 1940s. It houses offices and classrooms of the College of Continuing Educa- tion and the Office of Training and Development. Many of the sum- mer courses offered by the Univer- sity meet in Providence. The Pro- vidence building can also accom- modate meetings and conferences of up to 100 people. The Alton Jones campus covers 2,300 acres of woods, fields and ponds in rural West Greenwich, about 20 miles from the Kingston campus. One of the main features of this campus is the Whispering Pines Conference Center, which rents meals and overnight lodging to community, church and college groups. One hundred acres on the Alton Jones campus have been set aside as a nature and wildlife preserve and environmental education center. Elementary school classes often make field trips to the en- vironmental education center, sang, Allan Drury Other URI Campuses 71 72 ORGANIZATIONS 73 LI3 LS: Nobody Does It Better Little Brothers Little Sisters is a student senate-funded organiza- tion which involves children of the South County area coming from broken homes and needy families. Each September we visit the elementary schools several times, meeting with the principals and forming a list of children who would benefit from the program. Once we have our list, these children are matched with URI students who are referred to as bigs. In the past we were limited to 100 members, for transportation reasons, and generally 70% were composed of females. This year we have had a record-breaking turn- out, demonstrating the URI spirit and enthusiasm and overall care and concern to help!!! We boast over 120 members, with nearly half of them being males!!! This is the first year we were able to assign each and every little boy, which is tremendous, and our university should be commended!! We also had over 300 URI females who applied, but did not have enough littles for all of them. However, these students will get first preference next September if they reapply. What does our organization do? Many, many things!!! However, the options are entirely up to the bigs. We provide transportation to all who don ' t have cars, and we sponsor parties such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine ' s and an Easter Egg party. This year we had our first annual Thanksgiving din- ner. It is up to the bigs to sign up for what they want to attend. Other activities may include roller-skating, bowling, swim- ming, attending a URI ball game, or any other type of sport, movie, etc. We sell dining hall meal tickets good on any night for only 50c, and the littles get a kick out of that. This year especially we have had tremendous campus support. Lambda Chi Alpha along with Alpha Xi Delta invited us to visit their haunted house before our Halloween Party. Naturally, the littles went crazy and loved it. Then Sigma Chi has supported us on two occasions. In the spring of ' 82, Brother Brian Iannuccillo won the campus arm wrestling match and Sigma Chi donated enough money to our organization to allow us to pay off our van loan in full. This past November, Sigma Chi ' s Derby Week was dedicated to Little Brothers Little Sisters, and with the spirit and pep of Carl Pearson along with the brothers and pledges of Sigma Chi, we were able to raise enough money to cater the Thanksgiving dinner, since the majority of these children aren ' t as fortunate as we to have even turkey. This spring Lambda Chi Alpha sponsored the annual junior Olym- pics with a cookout held up at their fraternity. After the lunch and events, the fire department br- ings up a truck and takes the kids for a ride around campus. 74 LB LS C.H.E.A.R.S., located on the fourth floor of Roosevelt Hall, is an outlet for information on educa- tion of alcohol use for the entire campus. This non-profit organization has a staff of 30 volunteers, an alcohol educator, a counselor, a secretary, and a part-time director. C.H.E.A.R.S. is funded by the Na- tional Institute of Alcohol Abuse Awareness. It provides workshops, referrals, films, a drop-in center, guest lectures, individuals and group counseling and a hotline. C.H.E.A.R.S. 75 Student Lecture Series: Unreeling the ' Real ' The Student Lecture Series is a group whose objective is to bring informative and provocative speakers to campus. SLS brings renowned speakers from areas such as politics and literature. This year SLS has presented economist John K enneth Galbraith. This lecture addressed an important issue of the day: the nuclear arms race and the pro- spects for disarmament. Former presidential candidate Dr. Barry Commoner was one of the highlights of the year as was Jean Kilbourne who addressed the issue of the exploitation of women in advertising. SLS presents lec- tures from diverse fields, so as to appeal to as many different members of the campus communi- ty as possible. Student Interest Organization The Student Interest Organiza- tion is a lobbying group for the students of URI. It is composed of concerned students who work ac- tively to represent all students ' concerns and interests before the General Assembly. All advocates must undergo a | comprehensive training program during the fall semester. They are taught to master the art of per- suasive public speaking and other political techniques. This includes learning to become familiar with upcoming issues on campus and at the General Assembly. The legislative session begins in early January and is in session for ninety days. At this time of year, SIO advocates disperse among the various branches of government (including the Board of Governors for Higher Education and the Governor ' s office) and throughout the URI campus work to initiate legislation that will best promote the students ' interests and concerns. SLS SlO Women ' s Crisis Center The Women ' s Crisis Center at URI is a call-in, walk-in crisis ser- vice for men and women ex- periencing traumas due to rape, sexual assault or sexual harass- ment. It is located in A Tower Burnside, and is open daily from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., with an answering machine operating at all other times. Workshops are available for the campus community on rape awareness and protection and sex- ual harassment. Tour Guides: It ' s not just a job, it ' s an adventure Do you remember the first time you visited URI? For the majority of students the first exposure to the university is during a campus tour. On these tours a prospective student can see and hear a little about all aspects of campus life from an expert; a URI student. Students conducting these tours are trained and employed by the admissions office. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE ? W .C.C. Tour Guides 77 R.O.T.C. An integral part of the Universi- ty of Rhode Island since 1894, Ar- my ROTC offers students the op- portunity to serve as lieutenants in the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard. T he URI ROTC Program pro- vides training in management and leadership, stressing academic achievement and physical challenge. All courses are ac- credited, and can prepare students from all fields of study for either military or civilian careers. Each year, two and three year scholarships are awarded to URI students enrolled in ROTC courses. Additionally, students may apply for such courses as air- borne, air assault, and ranger school. Flight school preparation is also available. 78 R.O.T.C. The Student Video Center became a Student Senate organiza- tion in 1974. Accomplishments? Over the decade, SVC members have videotaped and or interviewed many lectures, bands and events in and around campus. Tapes of Ralph Nader, B. Willie Smith, Julian Bond, Eistenfodd, Gloria Steinem, Bobby Seale, The Young Adults, the AAUP strike (among many others) reside in the SVC Library. SVC has produced many information programs shown with programming (High Noon Weather, The Review), as well as producing and or assisting cam- pus groups and University depart- ments with various needs. Whatever the future brings, one thing will not change — the peo- ple. The legacy of past vidicts, their experience and wisdom passed on to succeeding techs, combined with the technical in- novations of now and to come, in- sure that the spirit of teamwork and creativity will continue to af- fect and make a difference at SVC.

Speak-Easy provides informa- tion and peer counseling to URI students concerning sexuality. A drop-in center and library, a hotline, and workshops on all aspe cts of sexuality are provided by trained volunteers. Speak-Easy is primarily a service organization. It is also a valuable pre-professional experience for volunteers. Over 2,000 students per year use the services provided by 30 volunteers.

The club consists of people who are novices to active outdoor enthusiasts. Some of the activities the club conducts are all- day hikes around Rhode Island, canoeing, rock climbing in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and bicycling and backpacking in New Hampshire. This year, we en- joyed a windy weekend in the White Mountains, cross country skiing in Jackson, New Hamp- shire, and a canoe trip in t he spring. 80 Outing Club The University of Rhode Island Dance Company, comprised of students and community residents, is devoted to the artistic performance of dance. As an ex- tension of the regular dance cur- riculum in the Physical Education Department, the company offers its members choreographic oppor- tunities and training in the technical aspects of production. Artists-in-residence programs pro- vide additional options for students to study on campus with leading professionals in the field. Auditions are held in early Oc- tober. Admission to the company is determined by an adjudication board. An Apprentice Dance Troupe (ADT) is open to all in- terested students or universi- ty community individuals who wish to improve skill and expertise in dance. Although the company specializes in the styles of modern and jazz, choreographic works in modern ballet, folk dance and African have been incorporated in- to the Company ' s repertoire.

Freshman Orientation Workshop Leaders Pre-registration, general educa- tion, University College, advisors, concentrations, and graduation re- quirements are some of the things incoming freshmen learned about at summer orientation. But, more importantly, they met new people and learned about life at URI dur- ing the two-day sessions. Freshman orientation workshop leaders (FOWLS), upperclassmen, teach the freshmen about academics and activities . at URI. The freshmen also had a chance to meet with the Dean of University College and their individual facul- ty advisor. The freshmen also have a tour of the campus, given by their FOWLS. Another important aspect of orientation is showing freshmen the many services, activities, and opportunities available at URL The leaders even put on a convocation, to emphasize the importance of becoming involved in more than just academics at URL After spending two days learning about URI, the freshmen are ready to come to URI in September. The orientation leaders also give special orientations to students who are coming from a long distance, transfer students and a weekend orientation for interna- tional students. Orientation leaders continue to help new students adjust to URI through the peer assistance pro- gram. In the fall, each of the orien- tation leaders held office hours in Roosevelt Hall to answer questions or direct students to a staff member for assistance. The orientation program has a value not only for incoming students, but also for those up- perclassmen chosen to be leaders. The leaders became a close-knit group, although, the twenty FOWLS had twenty very different personalities, they also had two common characteristics. They wanted to help incoming students and they loved life at URI. The coordinator of the URI Orientation program is Margaret Scott, the assistant Dean of Student Development. 82 F.O.W.L. I.F.C. . . . PANHEL . . . The Interfraternity Council of URI is the voice of the male Greek life on campus today. It, along with its 16 member fraternities, is responsible for many of the pro- grams and services seen on cam- pus throughout the school year. Such events range from sponsor- ing the university ' s Freshman Record, annual leadership con- ferences, to hosting Blood Drives for the R.I. Blood Center during Greek Week. IFC acts as the governing body and coordinator of all the campus fraternities, as well as chief liaison between the Fraternities and University administration. Its pur- pose is to promote and serve the Greek community on campus, and is committed towards its prosperity. The Panhellenic Association is comprised of seven nationally af- filiated sororities on the URI cam- pus. The members work together to promote good relations between all URI sorority women. The purpose of Panhel is to govern and oversee judicial and financial matters of the sororities. Panhel meets every other week, and as a team they organize various activities such as: Rush, Bids, Dance, and Sorority Swop, along with philanthropic projects. IFC PANHEL 83 I.F.C. AND PANHEL: A Winning Combination UNION BOARD: Don ' t Be Bored, Join Union Board The Memorial Union Board of Directors is divided into two very different, but interdependent, bran- ches: programming for the Univer- sity and building operations. Pro- gramming is divided into various committees that sponsor events for the campus community such as Spr- ing Carnival, Coffee Hour, Back Room Gigs, films, dances, speakers, trips and the Dating Game. The Union Board is the largest sponsor of student activities on campus. Building Operations deals with decisions and policies concer- ning space allocations, the Ram ' s Den, the Cup Room and all other aspects of the Union ' s operations. The two branches meet weekly to discuss and decide upon issues in and around the Union. Every Union Board member has full voting privileges on all matters including Memorial Union budgets and any major capital expenditures. WRIU: Keeps Us Singing After 12 years WRIU has finally moved its FM transmitter from Washburn Hall to its new home on Plains Road. WRIU-FM now covers all of Rhode Island, northeastern Connecticut and parts of southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and Martha ' s Vineyard. WRIU gives URI students a chance at actual hands-on ex- perience in radio broadcasting. Four daily live newscasts, live coverage of all Ram football and basketball games and a wide varie- ty of regular programming are all completely student produced. In addition, WRIU-AM provides a campus-oriented radio format which is also completely student run. Nineteen hours a day, WRIU provides valuable broadcasting ex- perience while bringing something a little different and very special to radio in Rhode Island. 84 U.B. W.R.I.U.

KSS offers students ex- perience in business and com- munity services through various managerial positions and the KSS Board of Directors. But most importantly, KSS provides vital services to the URI community. OMBUDSMAN: This Bud Works for You My experience as Student Om- budsman has proven a wonderful opportunity to improve dialogue between students, faculty, staff and administrators. The office has also proven to be a challenge to my ability as a communicator and mediator. I feel a sense of gratitude that students can have confidence in my judgment when dealing with their problems and frustrations. The office, as well as my role, has changed throughout the year. Together with the new faculty ombudsman and Jean Houston, we have tried harder this year to publicize the services our office provides to the student com- munity. Though we view our role as informal, behind the scenes mediators, we have tried to stress the visibility of our services to those who are having problems. In a quiet way, we have been suc- cessful at making our presence known throughout the student community. Margaret Menzies KSS Ombudsman 85 86 Student Senate the other. With such a broad range of personalities and opinions, the typical Student Senator Mold was tossed aside for this emergence of a more diverse and effective membership. This effectiveness was evident early in the year, with the success of the Senate ' s statewide Voter Registration Drive, led by Presi- dent Sue Zanne Worrell. The drive registered more than 800 students at URI alone, making Second Front Page headlines and sending an overdue message to campaign- ing legislators that URI does have a strong voice in this state. That voice was heard again, when the Student Senate joined forces with the University ' s News, Information and Public Relations Department to help ensure passage of Referendum 8, a 4.6 million dollar bond issue for URI. For most of us on Senate, the month before those November 2nd elections will be remembered as a blur of pamphleting at football games, setting off hundreds of helium balloons and making phone calls to the endless list of voters on election eve. It was a significant accomplishment that represented a unified effort of the Student Senate for a purpose that would benefit the entire Universi- ty community. The work didn ' t stop after November 2nd. With the RIPIRG controversy, prososals for a bi- weekly payroll for students employed by the University and a Library Fundraiser in the works, the pace has anything but slowed. Special priorities include support for the newly established Minority Fund and investigations into possibilities for improving the campus parking situation. All these challenges and many more await the Student Senate before this school year draws to an end. We hope the future holds as much promise as did this past semester. In closing, we wish to thank the students of this University for the honor of allowing us to represent them in their student government. We wish every one peace and good luck in their futures. The year is not quite half over at the time of this writing, but already it is clear that the 1982 Stu- dent Senate is profoundly dif- ferent from any that came before it. Headed by a new and creative leadership, the first two-woman team of president and vice presi- dent in the history of this Univer- sity, this year ' s Student Senate is branching out into avenues beyond the usual scope. From voter registration, to Referendum 8, to the debate over the RIPIRG contract, to new advances in Affir- mative Action and beyond; it has been a semester of hard work, con- troversies and successes. This year, more than ever before, Student Senators represented not only their dif- ferent constituencies, but also political ideals and philosophies from one end of the spectrum to Student Senate 87 RIPIRG: Effective Statewide Organization What is RIPIRG? RIPIRG is students working to bring about constructive social change in areas that interest us as students, as con- sumers and as citizens. We have been working very hard to set up the structure necessary to become an effective statewide organiza- tion. Some progress has been made despite strong administrative op- position, and we are beginning to organize chapters on other Rhode Island college campuses. In addition to building the organization, we have maintained the level of education, research and advocacy programs here at URI and at the statewide level. On the campus level, this past year brought an investigation into tenant ' s rights and auto repair fraud. After a semester of survey- ing and research, we published RIPIRG ' s Guide to Auto Repair Shops in South County and RIPIRG ' s Tenant ' s Rights Hand- book. RIPIRG ' s Auto Clinics, allowing students to have their cars diagnosed by a mechanic for free, were a big success. At the statewide level, RIPIRG continued to fight for a Rhode Island Bottle Bill. This included a roadside litter survey which showed that Connecticut, a Bottle Bill state, was substantially cleaner than Rhode Island. A Bike-a-thon was held where ambitious bikers rode 30 miles from URI to the State House to raise money for the Bot- tle Bill Campaign. RIPIRG also began an investiga- tion into the laws that exist regarding hazardous waste, specifically the problem of waste oil dumping. We sponsored two forums to educate students about the problems of hazardous waste and to discuss whether the ex- isting laws are really working. The next step is to draw conclusions from our research, and work to change the laws to ensure a cleaner Rhode Island. Looking ahead, RIPIRG will , continue trying to grow to its full potential by involving more! students in Rhode Island. We are going to continue organizing, run- ning projects and working to give students in Rhode Island a voice. 88 RIPIRG Student Technical Service Student technical service is a Student-run Memorial Union organization that provides quality sound and lighting equipment for the campus community. STS has provided concert sound and lighting for many SEC, Union Board and Weekenders events throughout the years. STS has technicians available to show movies, operate sound and lighting equipment or just plain stage labor. World Hunger Committee: Educate Students on Hunger W w 74 m j f£B H !m m The World Hunger Committee, through numerous activities, helps to educate students on hunger. It also raises money for Oxfam America which helps Third World countries. On November 18, 1982 the com- mittee urged students to fast for a world harvest. Students gave their dinner meal tickets for that eve- ning and the proceeds, about $3,000 were donated to Oxfam America. The World Hunger Committee also sponsored films and speakers on hunger issues. STS W. Hunger 89 HILLEL The Jewish campus community at URI centers around the B ' nai . B ' rith Hillel Foundation located at | 34 Lower College Road. In 1982-83, Hillel sponsored many educa- tional, cultural, religious, and social events. Hillel ' s educational program in- cluded informal classes (Bible, basic Judaism), plus a mini-course for credit entitled “Jewish Life in America. Cultural events included lec- tures by author Chaim Potok, in- termarriage and assimilation ex- pert Dr. Egon Mayer, and political scientist Dr. Charles Liebman. Hillel also sponsored a concert series that included the Diaspora Yeshiva Band, Bat Kol, and Israeli folk music superstar, Ruthi Navon. Among the religious events sponsored by Hillel are weekly Friday night services. High Holi- day services, and a Passover Sedar and meal plan. Finally Hillel ' s social programs for 1982-83 included ice cream, pizza, and wine and cheese parties; rollerskating; bowling; an inter- collegiate convention; and a joint dance with other local college Hillels. URI Hillel is dedicated to a pluralistic and multifaceted Jewish community. Hillel represents no particular ideology, but rather aids and encourages URI students to in- vestigate their religious communi- ty and heritage. 90 Hillel Commuter Association: commuter survival The Commuter Association, located on the third floor of the Union, is set up for use by commuter students. They plan social events to fit into the commuter student ' s schedule. The Commuter Association meets in the Commuter Lounge, the meeting place for commuters, where everyone has the same thing in common. The staff is made up of commuters, which makes it easier for them to assess the commuters ' needs. Commuter Association 91 The Student Entertainment Committee ' s goal is to bring diver- sified talents to the URI community. The committee started the year with the Broadway play The Fan- tastiks. In October, students rocked in Keaney Gym to Robert Gordon and David Johansen. Dan- cing shoes were on again in November when students boogied to the swing band Eight to the Bar. In December everyone was Steppin ' Out to go Beat Crazy with Joe Jackson. During the fall, the committee also began prepara- tions for URI ' s annual Spring Weekend concert and bluegrass festival. SEC is composed of 20-30 hard- working, dedicated students who are interested in making URI a more entertaining place to be. Through the committee, students get a chance to see what goes on behind-the-scenes of a show. They also get a chance to use any special skills they may possess to directly influence the University ' s entertainment activities. 92 SEC Fath.0r Chew dud Sister J03.HI A Winning Combination Catholic Student Association: Fosters Christian Ideals The Catholic Student Associa- tion seeks to foster a Christian Community on campus by coor- dinating and programming spiritual, cultural and social ac- tivities through the Catholic Center. Membership is open to any URI student interested in fostering Christian ideals. This year ' s highlights were the prayer gatherings, and Halloween and Christmas open houses. Sr. Joan and Fr. Chew C.S.A. 93 WEEKENDERS WEEKENDERS is a group of students dedicated to making the weekends come alive on campus. The yearly roster of pro- grams encompassed social, cultural and recreational events. This year ' s events in- cluded the popular Air Band contest, a trip to Ocean State Performing Arts Center, the Laserlight show, the One Ton Sundae and at the Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, an Evening of Elegance. 94 Weekenders Involvement, teamwork, and dedication is the name of the game for University of Rhode Island ' s That Ram Band, which in- cludes the drill team and band. As any member will tell you, it is a close group since everyone is dependent on each other. It is this loyalty and devotion that keeps URI ' s Family Tradition to carry on. 95 That Ram Band The Ski Club this year helc their annual Sugarbush trip at th Bridges, bringing a record numbei of people. Even though th weather did not tur n out the best there was still enough partying t make Sugarbush what it ' s knowr for. Parties were arranged eacl night, and the sports cente allowed plenty of dayti m( activities. 96 Ski Club Join the Fun With URI ' s Sailing Club The URI Sailing Club completed two more successful semesters of sailing classes and is gearing up for an eventful summer of classes and sailing in the shadow of the 12-meters sparring for the America ' s Cup in the Sound. With all the students who completed sailing courses at the club, we ex- pect at least one of you to be on a 12 meter this summer! If not on a twelve than maybe on our well rounded fleet of windsurfers. Flying Juniors, Tech dinghys. Flying Dutchman or our 470. In these boats, instructors teach sailing from the totally inex- perienced to the highly com- petative sailor in our Olympic class dinghy ' s. This past year of classes were full of fun and things we thought impossible to do with our boats. We saw one boat go head over teakettle, another was sailed under water and many were sailed without a skipper, (sprawled in the bottom of the boat engulfed by lines). We, Chris Crane, Peter Esposito, Lindsey Levine, Tom Carrol and Norm Windus, hope to see you on the water this summer or in one of our classes in the fall. Sailing Club 97 The Good 5 t Cigar The Good 5 r Cigar This Country Really Needs Working at The Cigar . . . Those famous mandatory staff meetings in the Cup Room and the craziness of the April Fools ' issue . . . Sounds fun, right? Well, if you ' re a) a masochist b) dedicated to journalism c) just like having to worry about putting out a paper every day or d)all of the above — it is. There are occasions when you want to quit and drop the whole thing, and there are other times when all you can do is laugh. Working at The Cigar means a lot of work. But for the entire staff — from the fledgling reporter to the editor in chief — The Cigar of- fers the most valuable experience in newspaper reporting and pro- duction available on campus. It teaches one about the pressure of deadlines and how to make news stories out of the most minute occurences. But most of all. The Cigar gives its workers a sense of responsibili- ty and pride in the final product. Just knowing that most of the literate students (and some of the illiterate ones) are relying on you for some source of news or enter- tainment — from the front page to the sports page, from Bloom Coun- ty to the personals — gives great satisfaction. Most people not involved with The Cigar have no idea of the work that goes into the production of each issue. From assigning stories to pasting up that final headline, it ' s not as easy as it may seem. For each issue, the day ' s news editor must come up with at least 10 story ideas. This is the aspect of The Cigar most dreaded by news editors. Exciting things are not always waiting to be descended upon by fearless Cigar reporters. So instead we do a lot of in- teresting features on everything involved with the University. But this teaches patience and perserverence to news editors waiting for that big scoop. The most vital and yet most un- publicized side of The Cigar is the business department. Without advertising. The Cigar would be unable to maintain its current publication schedule. The staff of The Cigar is for- tunate to be able to put out a newspaper using modern technology. Because stories are typed on word processors, deadlines can be pushed back as late as 5:30 the night before the paper is published. This allows for a more up-to-date newspaper and a more realistic atmosphere in the newsroom. John Richard Editor in Chief The Good 5c Cigar 99 INVOLVEMENT: The Key to a Complete College D id you ever stop to notice that there are certain people you hear about all the time? Every time you pick up The Cigar you keep reading about the same people over and over again. Whether they ' re doing wonderful things to benefit the University or they ' re getting themselves embroiled in a bitter controversy, these same peo- ple keep popping up. And you know who they are. They ' re the ones you always see bustling through the Memorial Union in between meetings or other ac- tivities. They ' re also the ones who, quite unintentionally, never hear you say hello as you pass on the Elephant Walk because they are reciting to themselves their hectic daily schedules. And of course they are the ones who — through their extra-curricular activities — make this school the special place it is. One might wonder why these people choose to take on all the hassles of getting involved in a campus activity, when it would be much easier (and more relaxing!) to go back to their room and watch the soaps or catch a nap. It ' s ob- vious that SOMETHING motivates them to become involved. Some see it as a chance to meet a lot of new people (or one in particular they would like to get to know!) Others are active in various organizations simply to beef up their resumes. Of course, there are some who just like to dive head first into the action all the time. Education They feel they have an investment in URI and they want to be sure they ' re getting the most out of it — and that they ' re putting their best into it. Then again, maybe these people are just gluttons for punishment. After all, a lot of these active students would agree that academics sometimes takes a back seat to the extra-curricular ac- tivites. Getting an education doesn ' t only mean studying, they reason. Sure, sometimes their grades slip a little because of their involvement, but most of the time, they find that their best grades were achieved during their busiest semester! These are the truly outstanding students who make The Big Difference about URI. Quite remarkably, they can suc- cessfully juggle the academics and the activities (as well as their social lives) to be well-rounded students. But these people are all not from the same mold. Some were active leaders since high school, but for others, that first step toward cam- pus involvement was much more difficult. After a year or two of watching others get involved, however, they finally decided to join up and then wondered, Why did I wait so long to get involved? Being involved in campus ac- tivities has many benefits, both for the individual and the University. The close friendships that develop during those scores of late-night meetings and social events are one of the personal rewards most cherished by active campus leaders. Through the experiences — both good and bad — associated with campus involvement, each individual grows and is able to learn more about himself. At the same time, the University thrives on student involvement. With a measure of cooperation from a group of students sharing com- mon concerns for URI, things get accomplished which help make this an outstanding institution. But active students are not always commended for their in- volvement. Along with the recognition and self-satisfaction, these leaders achieve, they must also assume the responsibility to bear the brunt of the criticism levied by lethargic students who are unsatisfied with the University and its services. When there are no Cigars in the dining halls in the morning, when all the Senior Week tickets are sold out, when the Student Senate remains hopelessly divided on a major con- troversial issue — these are all times when student leaders are criticized for not doing their jobs right. But critics were made to criticize and leaders were made to lead. So URI ' s student leaders will continue to be active in the campus com- munity — taking criticism into ac- count when appropriate — in an effort to maintain URI ' s Big Difference, ot-s Joann Muller . . .

It was held outside the Memorial Union on Friday afternoon of Spring Weekend. The carnival had the representation of different organizations on campus. Clowns and jugglers roamed the carnival and amused the crowd. The highlight of the day included a mud- wrestling competition with Union Board taking on Student Senate. All who attended the festivities enjoyed themselves very much. 108 Spring Weekend Spring Weekend 109 A Ton of Fun With One Ton Sundae 110 The Weekenders ' traditional One Ton Sundae feast became somewhat untraditional this year as a group of protestors gathered and called for a boycott of the gluttony. For the most part, URI students ignored the protestors (who re- ceived considerable media atten- tion) and one by one, scooped from a row boat the $1,200 worth of ice cream. In an attempt to appease the pro- testors, Weekenders collected $62.80 in donations to the U.S. World Hunger Organization. Spring Weekend 111 U.R.I. Welcomes the Marshall Tucker Band . Students Relax While Listening to the Marshall Tucker Band The weather was perfect for URI ' s annual Spring Weekend April 23, which featured the Mar- shall Tucker Band. Thousands of people gathered under the warm sun on Meade Field to socialize and listen to the music of the popular Southern Rock band. The following day, rain forced the annual Bluegrass Festival in- doors to the Memorial Union Ballroom. 112 Spring Weekend Bluegrass Festival Held Indoors Due to Rain Spring Weekend 113 Fun Times for Paddy Murphy Paddy Murphy was born over forty years ago as a theme for a social event. No alcohol was al- lowed on campus at the time, so Paddy Murphy had to leave URI to drink himself to death. There was no wake, and the funeral was a prelude to a dance, held off campus. This was when the Leukemia Society entered the event as a philanthropic project for Theta Chi. The senior who is the ' biggest partier in the house ' gets the distinction of being Paddy Murphy for the week, said Mike Sullivan, president of Theta Chi. On the day of the funeral, the procession leaves Theta Chi at 11:30, arriving on the Quad by noon. At this time, Paddy arises from the dead and makes a speech. 114 Paddy Murphy Local Charities Haunted Houses The home of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, located on North Road, was turned into a house of ghosts, ghoal and other assorted ghastly creatures. But so was the Hull House on Plains Road. This one was sponsored by the Union Board, in conjunction with Cod- dington. Tucker and Bressler Halls. Throughout the waiting period in both houses, one heard any number of shrieks, yells and primordal screams. Also, a vintage recording of Halloween sounds played out of the window above the main entrance. If this wasn ' t enough to get one ' s blood rushing, a woman dressed in a black cape pranced around looking for pret- ty boys. People waiting didn ' t seem to mind waiting. After entering into the house, one waited in a lobby for a few minutes and was led through the house. Haunted Houses 115 The 1983 URI Theatre Clinicalleluia!

Theatre 119 120 ATHLETICS 121 ! 1982 — Soccer ' s The URI soccer team finished the season with a successful 12-6-3 mark under veteran coach Geza Henni. The 12 wins mark the fourth consecutive year that the Rams have won ten or more games. Much of the success of the 1982 Rams can be attributed to the leadership of senior co-captains Geza Henni Jr. and Ken Abrams. The younger Henni, a halfback, led the team in scoring with 14 goals and 3 assists. His 14 goals gave him a career total of 30 goals which places him third on the all- time Ram scoring list. Henni was a model of consistency for Rhode Island this year, as he scored in 1 1 of the Rams ' 21 games. Abrams did an excellent job in controlling the defense from his fullback position. He led the Ram defense which allowed only 25 goals in 21 games. Much of the team ' s defensive success must be credited to freshman goaltender, Michael Saalfrank. Saalfrank set a school record for shut-outs in a season with ei ght, breaking the old mark which was set by Joe Kanzler in 1979. The freshman star is only one shut-out behind the career record of nine. Saalfrank posted an outstanding goals against average of only one goal per game. The Rhody season began on a bright note as the team posted home victories over Connecticut College (4-2) and Ohio State University (2-0). The Rams ' first defeat was a 3-2 loss at the hands of nationally ranked Penn State at University Park, Pennsylvania. The team ' s most disappointing game of the year was a 2-1 double overtime loss to St. John ' s. The Redmen won this thriller in the last seconds of the game. Following the St. John ' s heart- breaker, the Rams went on a five- game winning streak. The first game, a 1-0 win at home over Holy Cross, was won on an Abrams ' direct kick goal in the second half. Sophomore Mark Cookson scored both tallies in the Rams ' most thrilling game, a 2-1 win over cross-state rival Providence Col- lege. Victories over Brown (2-0), Bridgeport (5-2) and Fairfield (9-0) raised the team ' s record to 7-2-1. Cookson and Henni led the team in scoring over this period with five goals and four goals, respectively. 122 Mens ' Soccer Streaky Season Following the disappointing losses to Connecticut, the defend- ing national champions, and Ver- mont, the potent Ram offense and goalie Saalfrank put it all together to record back-to-back 2-0 shut- outs over Massachusetts and Rutgers. Senior fullbacks played large roles in both games. In the UMass game, Greg Mancuso broke the Minutemen ' s back with a late goal and Jim Chapman ' s two assists were decisive in the Rutgers game. The streaky season continued as the Rams tied Boston University 1-1 and lost to nationally ranked Boston College, 2-0. Rhode Island finished up the 1982 season with three wins and a tie in its last five games. Henni scored five goals in these last five games; victories over New Hampshire, Southeastern Massachusets and Maine, a loss against Adelphi and a tie against Fordham in the season finale. The Rams are losing four ex- cellent players through gradua- tion, but 15 lettermen are return ing to the team in 1983. Barry Knapp, who scored four goals and set up six more from his fullback position, will return as captain of next year ' s team. Joining him will be Mark Cookson, who finished the year with ten goals and nine assists, and high scoring Gil Monteiro. Next year looks promising for the Rams, and as this year, Rhode Island will continue to compete on a level with the very best soccer teams in the nation.

Coach White describes the season as a typical Cinderella year. The team experienced a rough beginn- ing as they were flocked with in- juries leaving their experienced members on the bench for a ma- jority of the season. As a result many newcomers to the sport were forced to the starting positions. In goal the team was newcomer M. J. McCue, whose improvement over the season was overwhelm- ing, as demonstrated in the final games of the season. The girls record for the season included many losses and one tie. However, by the time the RIIAW tourna- ment the injured players were back in action and the newcomers had improved tremendously. The team came in full strength beating Providence College in a most ex- citing game. The team went on to win the honor of being the state champions once again. Ne xt year ' s season looks promis- ing although they face the loss of half back Casey Booth who has transferred from URI and seniors Nancy Craig, Lori Anderson, Judy Feirstein and Lori Richard. All in all the team experienced 2 wins, 9 losses, and one tie in a slow star- ting but tremendous finishing season.

The 1982 team. ► In the dual meet against New Hampshire, senior Robert Frost attempts to overtake team- mate Avi Gray. 4,5,6 (4 Wins, 5 Losses; But 6th in NE ' s) First-year coach Bob Copeland called it a successful year. And why not?! His URI cross country team, which had a 4-5 record in dual meet competition during 1982, finished sixth out of 54 teams in the New England Champion- ships held in Boston. The team ' s 4-5 record is rather misleading considering two of those losses came by one point, but there is nothing misleading about their high finish in the New Englands. It was URI ' s best perfor- mance in 18 years. At the beginning of the season, Copeland ' s Rams were hampered by injuries which had occurred to several runners over the summer. Mike Walukevich and Doug Hill were out for the season but Greg Hale came back from his injury and ran the number one spot along with Joe Swift. Co-captains Mark Rerick and Dave Neri also returned from injuries to share the number two position. Experience is important in any sport and Rerick showed that all season, remarked Copeland. Neri also came back to have his finest season ever. A trio of talented freshmen — Mark Galloway, Dale Boucher and Peter Debrusk — shared the | number three position. Copeland is sure that these three and other returnees will help the team im- mensely next year. With our recruiting this year we ' re adding more depth and I ' m sure that we ' ll be far more experienced in 1983. Charlie Abizaid 126 Men ' s Cross Country Practice Pays Off The girls of the Women ' s Cross Country Team began training for their fall season ear- ly in July when they received training programs from Head Coach Lauren Anderson. Upon returning to school in September they practiced three hours a day, every day! The time the girls spent training appears to have paid off, as the season results show. Led by captain Pam Tomek, the team had an overall dual meet record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Late September brought 13 teams to the Bay Campus here at URI for the WRams ' first non- dual meet, the University of Rhode Island Invitational. URI finished ninth with a total of 197 points. One of the season highlights was the Rutgers Invitational held in Piscataway, N.J., in which the WRams placed seventh with 162 points. The team was looking pretty good as the season progressed and in Oc- tober the Rams were very suc- cessful, finishing second in the R.I. AIAW Championship. Perhaps the biggest accomplish- ment for the team was the trip to Franklin Park in Boston for the New England Champion- ships, in which the girls placed an inspiring third out of 31 teams. The final event of the season was the NCAA Regionals in which outstanding perfor- mances were turned in by Violetta Joseveska, Madelyn Noe, Terry Walsh, Karen Mur- phy and Susan Hillery. In addi- tion, exceptional finishes of seventeenth and twentieth were turned in by Chris Kelley and Kristen O ' Connell, respectively. The team placed seventh overall. Although the team lost two seniors, Pam Tomek and Madelyn Noe, they seem hopeful and look forward to next year ' s season.

The ruggers engaged in an uphill battle in the fall and com- pleted a long, tough schedule. The highlight of the fall season was itheir road trip to Colby College. The URI ruggers were picked to -play Colby for entrance into the jNew England College Rugby Foot- ball Tourney. The ruggers left fRhody on a Friday afternoon with jttheir cars full of beer and headed (north. Eight hours later they preached a chilly campus and an .all-night party. With only a few -hours of sleep and a collective ' -hangover, they demolished Colby College 22-0 and gained entrance ? into the tourney. The spring season was unforget- table! 16 ruggers crammed into a Thrifty Rent-A-Truck van and headed south for spring break. On the way the ruggers mixed pleasure with business and managed to play two matches, the first in Myrtle Beach and the second in Miami. The week was spent enjoying fabulous Ft. Lauderdale. The URI ruggers showed school pride by competing in the most absurd act at The Button. The ruggers did the Elephant Walk on stage and scored points for URI in the col- lege competition. The week ended and the ruggers faced business once again. The spring season was short but the amount of improvement from game to game was noticeable. There was also much improve- ment in the post-game festivities. The experience of captain Gary Faragalli led some outstanding players in the spring season. Most noteable were Paul Potter ( a one man wrecking crew ) and Buell Thomas ( runs like a deer ). The most improved rugger was hooker Mike Prokop. The URI ruggers have been placed in a league for next fall with such high caliber teams as Harvard, Yale, and Brown. The Rhody ruggers are anxious to make themselves known. Only three seniors are being lost through graduation. They are Gary Faragalli, Paul Sternberg, and Mark DeChambeau. Gary Faragalli Rugby 129 WRams Frustrated by Narrow Defeats ◄ The WRams tune in for some strategy from Coach Alison Walsh. WRams dominate opposing net for a shot on goal. ► Sue Malone stretches for the ball as Gail Deines looks The 1982 women ' s field hockey team was led by senior Janice Wadsworth and senior co-captain Patti Socci. The team finished 6-10- 1 for the year. URI was frustrated by five one-goal or overtime losses, consistently outplaying the op- position and dominating the shots-on-goal statistics. Wadsworth sparked the offense with amazing stick-work and an innate ability to somehow get the ball through defenders. Socci cap- tained the defense as a consistent, no-frills halfback whose long reach and steady stick broke up the opposition ' s efforts up the sideline. Wadsworth was joined on the front line by junior co-captain Lin- da Herron and sophomore Maura Mulcahy as a scrappy inside com- bination, and frosh Gail Deines and Roseanne Primavera taking turns at a wing. Junior Karen Mur- phy did a hustling job at link along with sophomores Angela Ebsworth, Deb Murphy, Robin McColl and sweep Lori Whidden were a strong hard playing defense.

Meade Stadium is crowded with fans. The Ramettes undulate on the field, moving to the beat of That Ram Band ' s rendition of Sophisticated Lady. The cheerleaders are kick- ing up a storm on the sidelines and the line at the beer truck is winding around the stadium. The scene, a familiar one to many of us, is a URI football game. The scene on a typical Friday afternoon in fall is not so familiar. A URI football team takes the field for their game, but wait, this isn ' t Meade Stadium, this is the practice field 100 yards to the north. Gone are the cheerleaders, the band, and the beer truck. Only a handful of spectators watch the game. This team is the sub- varsity football team, and ac- cording to Coach Hal Kopp, it is essential to the football program at URI. The sub-varsity team serves varied purposes at URI. In addi- tion to playing its own four-game schedule, the team serves as a breeding ground for future varsity players, and as a scout team which helps the varsity prepare for its games. This results in extra demands being placed on the players. Enduring long practices, playing unfamiliar positions, and serving on the scout team are three of these demands. The Rams played well in posting a 3-win 1-loss record in the 1982 season. The team recorded victories over Navy Prep (10-0), Bridgeton Academy (13-7), and Milford Academy (14-0). Their only defeat was a 9-0 setback at the hands of the Brown University sub- varsity. The weather was a factor in the Brown game, as the rain and mud- dy conditions caused the URI of- fensive to bog down. The spark of this year ' s team was one of its smallest players, 5- foot 10-inch, 173-pound wide receiver. Bill Civitelli. Civitelli did it all for the Rams this year. He ran back punts and kickoffs in addi- tion to making key receptions for the team. The man responsible for getting the ball to Civitelli and the other receivers was freshman quarter- back Mike Cassidy. 134 Sub-Varsity Football Cassidy, whose style of play is similar to that of varsity quarter- back Dave Grimsich, utilized a pass oriented attack in directing the Rams. Strong armed Dave Boyle also saw some action at quarterback. While the Ram offense relied heavily upon the pass, they were able to run the ball successfully. Eric Kopatz did much of the run- ning for the Rams, and he was the team ' s leading scorer. Greg Brockwell ran well out of the fullback position. Kopatz and Brockwell were able to gain ground because of the work of a solid offensive line, which was an- chored by center Peter Fenelly. Rhode Island ' s defense was stingy all year. The squad recorded two shutouts in its four games, and allowed only thirteen points all year. The play of linebackers Tony Antonelli and Kevin Schork was instrumental to the Ram ' s success, as was the play of the hard hitting defensive backs Pat Lawson, Jamie Lindemuth and Matt Plourd. While sophomore Graham Sellar handled most of the team ' s kicking chores, the Rams also used a throwback to the olden days of football, drop kicker David Foristel. Coach Kopp says his players deserve a lot of credit. They do not play for glory, but rather, he says, for the love of the game. These sub- varsity players also play with the goal of moving up to the varsity and getting a taste of Satur- day ' s action.

The defending Yankee Con- ference Champion Ram football team did not win a second suc- cessive league title in 1982, but they did put together a record- breaking season which will be long remembered by Rhody foot- ball fans. The Rams set or tied 17 team and individual records and carved their niche in collegiate gridiron history when they defeated Maine 58-55 in the longest game ever played in the collegiate ranks. The two squads battled each other at Orono for 6 overtime periods after regulation time had expired, in a contest which made sports pages throughout the country. The team ' s final record of 7-4 marked only the third time in 82 seasons of football at Kingston that a URI team had won seven games in a season. This was due to a com- bination of fine team play and superb individual effort led by a quartet of seniors. Quarterback Dave Grimsich set three new marks: most yards pass- ing (season) 1,610; most TD passes (season) 14, and most TD passes (career) 24.

Tailback Cal Whitfield had the most yards rushing (season) 1200; Wide receiver Tom Mut had most yards receiving (season) 803, and Jim Roberson leaves URI with seasonal (5) and career (11) marks in interceptions. Coach Bob Griffin had his fourth winning season in the seven which he has been Ram Head Coach. In 1982, Griffin ' s team rose as high as eighth in the Lambert Cup balloting for Eastern schools. It is safe to say that the 1983 Rams will again be battling for a top position in the Lambert Cup standings. Defensive standout Mark Dennen leads a host of talented Rams that will return to play in 1983. Dennen was the top defensive performer for Rhode Island this year as he led the team in tackles with 126. Dennen added to this total three quarterback sacks, four fumble recoveries, two pass interceptions, and one blocked punt. His four fumble recoveries tie a school record for most in a season. Ram fans can be further encouraged by the return of stars Steve Caizzi and Steve Morris to the lineup. Caizzi, a fullback, and Morris, a tight end, were pegged to start this year but were forced to miss the season because of injuries. The return of these proven stars bodes well for the Rhode Island gridiron future. 138 Football while Dennen , Talbot and Crew provided much excitement on Defense Post season awards were garnered by many members of this year ' s record breaking squad. Wide receiver Tom Mut was the only unanimous choice on the Yankee Conference coaches all-star offensive team, a team that also in- cluded Rhody offensive tackle Rich Pelzer. Only two men were unanimous selections to the all- star defensive team and they were both from Rhode Island. Defensive end Dennis Talbot and defensive tackle Tony Deluca, the unanimous selections, were joined by cornerback Jim Roberson on this team. Rhody was also well represented on the All- Yankee Conference second team. T. J. Del Santo, Cal Whitfield, Dave Grim- sich, Gerry Favreau, Barney Rinaldi, Gil Rishton, Mark Den- nen and Hollis Chapman all were awarded this honor. For the first time in recent history, a Rhode Island football player was named first team All- American. Offensive tackle Rich Pelzer was named to the Kodak- IAA Coaches All-American team. This honor, along with Dennis Talbot ' s being named to an ECAC honorable mention position, capped off a season that was in- deed very memorable, complete with excitement, records and rewards.

Football 139 End of an Era For Coach Alan Marcus and the URI Rams, the 1982-83 season cap- ped off an incredible era for men ' s tennis at URI. After all, what coach wouldn ' t be happy to ha ve the same starting lineup — three juniors and three seniors — back for the third straight year? Led by senior captain Dan McCormick, the Rams posted an impressive 15-4 record this season, bringing their three-year total to 48 wins and 9 losses. But the season could have been even better. Although the Rams won their own URI Invitational Tournament in the fall, they ran into trouble during the spring season when they lost senior Steve Phillips because of a severe ankle injury. He was forced to default his singles and doubles matches at the New England Championships and the Rams finished a disappointing 8th place — well below their 4th place finish a year ago. At the Atlantic Ten Conference Cham- pionships in Pittsburgh, the Rams had several players in the final rounds and finished in 4th place overall. Although McCormick, Phillips and Marc Porter — one-half the lineup — are graduat ing, Marcus is counting on three strong returnees — Dave Wright, Gary Davidson and Frank Galego — to continue the winning ways for URI. Freshmen Kurt Craig and Joe Cohen — and a bevy of young recruits — could also play a big part in keeping alive that era of outstanding tennis for URI.

The WRams played well throughout the year, but often found themselves coming out on the los- ing side of many close matches. Over the fall and spring seasons, the team compiled a disappointing 5-16 record. There were some bright spots for the WRams, though. Led by senior co-captain Beth Shetzley, the WRams stormed into the Rhode Island Championships in October and edged out perennial state rival Providence College to finish second behind Brown University. In April the WRams traveled to Pennsylvania State University where they competed for the first time in the Atlantic Ten Con- ference Championships. Com- peting against such powerhouses as West Virginia, George Washington and Rutgers univer- sities. Rhode Island finished a respectable sixth place. The WRams will be losing four seniors: co-captains Shetzley and Kathy Lynch, Joann Muller and Maggie McGonagle. But Coach Charlie Connery has plenty of ex- perience returning next year in- cluding juniors Ruth Corcoran, Heather Tamer and Bonnie Powers, sophomores Mary Byrne, Kim E dwards, Lynn Sampson, Erika Waldman, Sue Martini and Trish Mann, and freshmen Margot Kreplick and Jennifer Lieb.

If the number of wins is the most important statistic to a col- lege basketball team, then the 1982-83 URI basketball team, which finished with a record of 9- 19, was not very successful. This year ' s team was young (with seven new members) and undersized (its tallest player was 6-6). Yet this team never quit hustling (it set a new team record of 246 steals). As the 1982-83 season opened, the Rams appeared to be a team to be reckoned with in the newly formed Atlantic 10 Conference. But in the sixth game of the season, star forward Marc Upshaw went down with a knee injury and was lost for the year. Losing Up- shaw was quite a blow to the Rams since he was leading both the team and the conference in both scoring and rebounding when the injury occurred. Senior Horace “Pappy Owens picked up much of the slack following Upshaw ' s injury and he was an inspiration to the young team. Owens led the team in almost every offensive category scoring (22.8), rebounding (6.7) and in number of minutes played (1005). He also set school records for most games started in a career, most minutes played in a career and highest average minutes played per game for a season. Owens was forced to play for- ward because of the team ' s lack of height, and he did an excellent job. When Upshaw was injured in the opening minutes of the Fleet Classic Final, Owens took over. 144 Basketball In Atlantic 10 Debut : He scored 25 points and registered a season high of 14 rebounds in a i losing overtime effort. For his fine : performance, Owens was named the tournaments Most Valuable : Player. In addition to collecting MVP honors in the Fleet Classic, Owens was also named first team all- Atlantic 10, first team all- tournament at the Stanford Invita- tional Tournament, and Rhode Island Division One player-of-the- year. Owens was also selected to the United Press International All-New England second team, honorable mention All-East by the Widmer poll, and honorable men- tion All-American by the Associated Press. Owens was not the only member of the team who received honors this year, as freshman Rus- ty Cordua was selected to the Atlantic 10 ' s All-Rookie team. Cor- dua was the highest scoring Ram freshman since Sly Williams (now a member of the New York Knicks) was a freshman in 1976. Cordua who stands 6-4 and weighs only 165 pounds, was the team ' s second leading scorer with an average of 12.7 points per game. He was the team leader at the free throw line, hitting on 86 percent and he led the team in three point field goals, connecting on 26 of 69 attempts. Cordua was only one of several freshman who excelled this season. Todd Bozeman was a solid contributor for the Rams as he started in all but one of the team ' s 28 games. A 6-4 guard forward, Bozeman pulled down rebounds at the rate of 4.8 a game. His 14 point outburst was one of the deciding factors in the upset victory over the second ranked team in New England, the University of New Hampshire. Another bright spot on the team was walk-on guard Reggie Horne. Horne shot 57 percent from the field, leading the team in field goal percentage. Other newcomers who con- tributed this season were freshman center Gavin Scotti and transfer point guard Tony Taylor. Scotti ' s 4.8 rebounds per game was equal to Bozeman ' s mark and was the highest for a freshman since Upshaw in 1979. Taylor, who split the point guard position with junior Kevin Compton and sophomore Terry Pittman, led the team in assists (83) and steals (37) while averaging 9.5 points a game. Basketball 145 Compton and Pittman both con- tributed greatly, especially towards the end of the season. Pitt- man was second on the team in assists (63) while only averaging 15 minutes per game. Junior Chris Cummings began to come on as a force towards the end of the year as he showed in an excellent performance against Du- quesne, an 83-77 Ram victory, un- til a knee injury forced him to miss the final two games. Forward Kevin Kennedy had a poor shooting year, but sparked the team with excellent defense against much larger players. This season ' s frustration was characterized by the team ' s 85-67 loss against Rutgers. In the game Owens exploded for a career high 35 points, however, the much larger team was too over- powering. This season did have its bright spots: 84-82 upset over LaSalle in Philadelphia, a winning bomb by Owen ' s to defeat St. Joseph ' s 64-63, and a home win over New Hamp- shire 83-78. The development of young players seems to be the brightest part of the 9-19 season for second year head coach Claude English. With the possible return of Marc Upshaw (redshirted) and addi- tional recruits, the Rams have the potential to become a power in the Atlantic 10.

Basketball 147 It was supposed to be a rebuilding year — a time to work through the quirks of a young seniorless squad. But with five eager freshmen and a healthy crop of sophomores and juniors, what the WRams lacked in senior ex- perience was gained through en- thusiasm and hustle. Yes, the 1982-1983 WRam basketball team did spend its season building. Once pre-season workouts, freshman jitters and ear- ly season blunders were out of the way, a sturdy WRam confidence level blossomed. And as mid- season approached, a winning at- titude took over. Finally after a gutsy Atlantic 10 Tournament per- formance, the WRams had built a blue and white pedestal that won ' t easily collapse. The 20-12 WRams had little trouble beefing up their Nov. -Dec. record. They entered their own Jacob Best Holiday Tournament with a 6-1 slate. Unfortunately they fell just short of wearing the tournament crown, losing in the finals to Providence College, 75-66. It was a cold January for the WRams. They spent the first half of the month numb — and the se- cond half trying to recreate some consistent game-time heat. But a gallant team effort at Boston University (80-75 win) convinced coach Nancy Langham and crew that the season was indeed salvageable. They went on to win seven out of their next ten games. Three contests later, sixth- seeded Rhody competed ,in their first Atlantic 10 Championships. Heads turned as Rhody knocked the Temple University Lady Owls from their third-seed platform, 70-69. They advanced to the semi- finals of the single-elimination tourney to face second-seeded Rutgers. However, Rhode Island came up six points short of conti- nuing their 1982-1983 journey. The WRams ' season ended in the Rutgers University gymnasium. Junior co-captain Coral Smith accepted her leadership duties ad- Young WRams Win 20 148 Women ' s Basketball mirably. She finished as Rhody ' s top scorer, averaging 12.9 points a game. She also led in steals with 98, and placed second in the ATC overall standing. Sophomore Judy Ryan was Rhody ' s second top gun, averaging 12.2 points per game. Freshman Michele Washington, who was named “ATC Co-Rookie of the Year and to the All- Conference team, was another ma- jor reason for the WRams ' 20-win season. She finished third on URI ' s scoring list (11 ppg) and ruled in rebounds averaging 10 a game. WRam coach Nancy Langham called this year ' s club a fine group of people and praised them for their hard work and overflow- ing talent. She looks ahead modestly to a comfortable future. With their most successful season ever right behind them, 1983-1984 will find the WRam hoopsters thirsty for at least another 20-win season. And now that they ' ve finished with their building and rebuilding concerns, it appears that the Rhode Island women ' s basketball pedestal may need a few extra steps. Janet Simmons Women ' s Basketball 149 IV A Year of Firsts This was a year of firsts for URTs ice hockey team. 1982 mark- ed the first year that the team com- peted in the New England Small College Hockey Association. This was also the first year of duty for coach Tom Macari. In fact, this was the first year that the URI hockey team has played under a coach. But the best first of 1982 was the first place finish that the team recorded in the NESCHA. Co-captains Bob McLeod and Rick Orton and assistant captain Dave Colson led their team to a 14-5 record during the regular season. Several of these victories were by large margins: 11-1 vs. Brandeis, 10-2 vs. Clark, 10-3 vs. Coast Guard, 8-3 vs. Rhode Island College, and 8-0 vs. Hartford are just a few of the team ' s romps. A stellar defense and a potent offense led the Rams to outscore their opponents by a total of 165 to 65 goals on the season. Dave Foster, Steve Peltier, Dave Colson, and Paul Rasielski made up the defensive corps that played superbly in front of goalie Scott Macbeth. Macbeth recorded a 3.2 goals against average and was voted the team ' s Most Valuable Player. The offense was sparked by Rick Missaghian, the team ' s Most Ex- citing Player, who finished with 32 points, and Dave Cloxton who added 26 points. Bob McLeod tallied a team leading 17 goals to finish with 23 points which tied him for third place on the team scoring list with Rick Orton and Doug Scala. The high scoring Rams took their 14-5 record into the playoffs to face Wentworth, a team that had accounted for two of the Rams ' losses. Rhode Island avenged these losses by easily defeating Went- worth by a score of 8-4. This win moved the Rams into the finals against Worcester Polytechnic In- stitute. Again the Rams were easy winners, as they defeated WPI 8-5 to grab the league championship. This was a perfect finish to URI ' s exciting and successful first year in the league. Peter Miniati 150 Hockey For Your Half-Time Entertainment . . . 152 Halftime Injuries Costly to Laxmen s - The URI men ' s lacrosse team had its first losing season ever in 1983. But even playing without a coach and several key players who were injured, the Rams handled their tough schedule very well and finished with a record of 5 wins and 6 losses on the season. The laxmen were led by player- captain Andy Lerner, who was the anchor of the Ram defense in goal. Lerner allowed less than seven goals per game. Rounding out the defense were four-year starter Bill Cook as well as Mike Panciera, Chris Hanifan and Ed Cunha. The finest perfor- mance for the defense came dur- ing a 15-3 romp over Southern Connecticut State College early in the season when the Rams closed down a good southern attack. The young midfield was led by senior Tim Baker and junior John Mahoney who demonstrated a tough combination of scoring and defense. Sophomore George Ley was a pleasant surprise for the Rams. He was outstanding on defense and also scored some clutch goals. The rest of the mid- (28) and Josh Fenton (14) tighten up the Ram D ' field included Chris Horan, Josh Fenton and freshman Jeff Fink. Defenseman convert Andy McKenzie was also a steady force at both ends of the field. The Rhody attack was devastating in the beginning of the season, but was tamed with the loss of senior Jeb Handy. Handy, who had scored 15 goals in the first two games of the season, was injured in the third game, a 3-1 win over Northeastern University, and missed the rest of the season after knee surgery. Reggie Bar- rows, Jim Stein, Terry Pendergast and John Gilbain led the attack for the rest of the season. Handy wasn ' t the only Ram who was injured this season. Mid- fielders John Finn, Joe Racca and Fred Abberley all went down with injuries early in the season. The Rams got off to a strong start in 1982-83, whipping Bryant College 17-1, Southern Connec- ticut 15-3 and Northeastern 3-1. But after Handy ' s injury, the Rams only managed to win two of their last eight games. The most disappointing loss of the season was an 8-7 overtime loss at the hands of Dean Junior College. The Rams also dropped close games to Worcester Polytechnic Institute 8-5, Naval Academy Preparatory School 9-6 and Boston University 15-11. With several players returning, the Rams are hoping to rebound next season with a healthy, winn- ing team. Josh Fenton 154 Men ' s Lacrosse WRams Post 8 Victories Murphy Named All-American WRams converge A lack of experienced players did not prevent the WRams lacrosse team from recording one of the best seasons in the team ' s history. Although the team ' s roster listed only four upperclassmen, the young team posted an im- pressive 8-3-1 record. Included in the eight wins were upset victories over Yale and Brown, and perhaps the highlight of the season, a five- game sweep in a weekend tourna- ment in Cape Cod. Much of the credit for the WRam ' s success can be attributed to co-captain Karen Murphy who was the team ' s leading scorer. Murphy, who was accorded All- American honors at the season ' s end, was joined by Holly Kenyo n and Lori Thorpe in providing much of URI ' s scoring punch. Rhode Island ' s strong defense was anchored by goaltender Deb- bie Murphy, Janet Boyle and co- captain Andrea McGinn. With all but one player returning for the 1984 season, the team hopes to continue building on this season ' s success. Peter Miniati Women ' s Lacrosse 155 An Integral Part of the Athletic Department The The athletic training room, (staf- fed with four certified trainers and eight student trainers), is an essen- tial facet of the athletic department. Certified trainers serve sports medicine to intercollegiate athletes with the assistance of student trainers who cover minor sports practices and games. Their respon- sibilities include taping, ad- ministering treatment, and assisting in the rehabilitation of in- jured athletes. The athletic training room is very busy during fall semester. In fact, the training room resembles a madhouse from Oct. 15 through Dec. 1, because during this period winter sports begin practicing while fall sports are still in progress. Student athletic trainers must accumulate 1,800 hours of athletic training experience under a cer- tified trainer to be eligible to take the mandatory certification test. They accumulate this time by working 20 to 25 hours a week. 156 Athletic Trainers Trainers The athletic training profession is actually an apprentice profession and trainers receive a good deal of experience in the training room. In the athletic training field students learn by doing. The ultimate goal of the student trainer is to become a certified trainer. Student trainers are given the opportunity to learn the pro- fession in the training room, by spending many hours there. The same is true for injured athletes. Injured athletes must spend many hours in the training room in order to be reconditioned so they can return to action. Athletic trainers also prevent athletic injuries in addition to car- ing for athletes hampered with injuries. The athletic training room is in- strumental to the existence of athletics. Athletics could not possibly survive without the athletic training profession. John Carr Diamond Disappointment It wasn ' t a lack of quality pitching, and not a lack of hitting, especially in the power depart- ment, but a tough schedule and two weeks of stormy weather which caused the ill fate of the 1983 URI baseball team as both of the Rams ' weapons were stretched just a little too thin. The team ' s 15-22 overall record was a tremendous disappoint- ment. But, as almost always is the case, there were bright spots even in the gloom of yet another sub- .500 season. Senior team captain Tony Carlucci ' s superb year both in the batter ' s box and behind the plate, senior centerfielder Jim Miller ' s home run and RBI output, flashes of greatness from the pitching staff, and a victory in the Southeastern Massachusetts University Tournament were a few of the highlights which made 1983 bearable for the Rams. Altogether, Rhody either tied or set a total of 43 individual and team marks. Teamwise, URI achieved record totals of games played (37), runs (178), hits (286), extra-base hits (85), HR ' s (29), and doubles (47). Individually, Carlucci was the top offensive record setter for URI. While leading the team in hitting with a .346 average, the Rhody catcher set 11 offensive marks, in- cluding RBI ' s (29 — breaking Tim Kindregan ' s 1982 record of 22), runs scored (27 — breaking Kin- dregan ' s mark of 23) and walks in a season (32 — five more than Chip Howard ' s previous record of 27.) On the defensive side, senior pitcher Ron Barber hurled his way into the record books in seven categories, including career wins (13), innings pitched in a season (68), and innings pitched in a career (183.3). Barber also led URI in several other areas such as ap- pearances (12), complete games (7), and strikeouts (44). Junior shortstop Jim Landry (.302) also set a new Rhody defen- sive mark, registering 90 assists this season to top Joe Pirrello ' s record of 79. Head coach John Norris had the Rams fired up early in the season, as Miller and Carlucci blasted URI to victory in the SMU Tourney (over Siena, Vermont, and SMU) after Rhody ' s slow (2-6) start in Kentucky. By the end of the SMU tournament. Miller had already tied the former record of five home runs set last year by Kin- dregan, and Carlucci was just one behind at four. Each player would later break Kindregan ' s record, j with Miller belting out a total of eight HR ' s and Carlucci adding seven to the team ' s power arsenal. Next on the agenda for the Rams ' assault at .500 were the University of Maine Black Bears, who came to Kingston fresh off a season when they sat among the top ten teams in the nation. But a vicious wind blowing across Bill Beck Field and a moving Barber fastball sent the Black Bears back to ; Orono 2-1 losers. Bus as the weather turned sour, so did the Rams ' luck. URI got ; thumped thrice, producing just two runs in their next three con- tests. First, the Providence College Friars s hut out the Rams 3-0 and 8-0 in Providence. Then, after an Atlantic 10 Conference doubleheader with St. Josephs was rained out, Rhody was crushed 12-2 by Holy Cross. As April grew colder, the showers became, more frequent and more severe, causing the cancellation of a number of con- tests and the re-scheduling of others. The rainouts forced the Rams into back-to-back i doubleheader situations and over- Baseball Tough Year for Rams P ◄◄◄Shortstop Jim Landry awaits the pitch under the watchful eye of coach John Norris. ◄◄Freshman ace Joe Ward shows the form that won four games for the Rams. ◄Joe Ward delivers the pitch.

After burying Rhode Island Col- : lege 10-3 behind the longballing of Dave Haring, Steve Godin, and Jim Landry, URI split a pair with the University of New Hampshire, : took two games from ATC rival Rutgers University, then went into a fatal nose dive, losing 11 of 13 games to spoil the early season success. An ATC-leading 2-0 mark and a 10-10 record overall, the best start in 14 years under Norris, became a 3-7 ATC mark and a less-than- respectable 12-21 record. The bot- tom had dropped out, and the Rams failed to qualify for the Atlantic 10 playoffs. But in the four games that re- mained, URI did manage to add a few wins to its record and finish the year on a relatively high note. Harvard University came to Kingston, falling 7-5 to the Rams, who then moved on to the R.I. State Championships. Downing Roger Williams Col- lege 7-0 and the Community Col- lege of Rhode Island 4-0 (the 500th victory in the Rams ' 74th year of existence) at URI, Rhody earned a trip to McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket for the tourney finale against P.C. At McCoy, Miller slammed his historic eighth round-tripper, but P.C. took home the trophy with a 7-6 win. The 1983 season had run its course. Nothing remained for the Rams but to bid farewell to parting seniors and begin looking forward to next year. As the graduating class of ' 83 moves on, the Rams will lose a tremendous amount of talent. Carlucci, Miller, outfielder Greg Adams (.319, 15 RBI ' s), third baseman Dave Starrett (16 RBI ' s), and pitchers Barber (4-5) and Rich Schmid (3-3, 3 saves) will all be gone next season. Next year ' s returnees, however, can gain a sense of hope from the performance of freshman Joe Ward, who burst onto the scene this season to post a 4-5 record with six complete games and 29 strikeouts in 60 innings of work. In Ward, Norris and the Rams may have found a pitcher to fill the void left by Barber ' s departure. Relief pitching may be more of a problem with Schmid no longer available as a stopper. The off-season will be key. URI will lose its first string catcher, second baseman, third baseman, center fielder, and right fielder, along with the two graduating pitchers. 1984 promises to be a rebuilding year in Kingston. But in the wind at Beck Field, anything can happen. Will ' 84 be the year the Rams make it to .500? Only time will tell. Steven St. Angelo ►Dave Starrett fields a hard grounder at third. r standout.

Baseball 161 Defense, Pitching Carry They were coming off a year in which they took their fifth con- secutive state championship, won the Eastern Regional Championships, became the first team from the East to win a game at the AIAW Women ' s College World Series in Oklahoma and finished the season ranked seventh in the nation. But, for a while this season it was questionable whether the URI softball team could even come close to its success of 1982. Three key pieces of the squad were missing as the campaign began in March; its strongest pitcher had graduated, gone were the power and run production of last season ' s top two hitters and the entire outfield had vanished, either due to gradua- tion or academic pressures. In 1982, the WRams had done it behind the bats of outfielders Chris Dinoto and Lisa Murphy and behind power pitcher Nancy Grigor (ably aided by then freshman Lori Whid- den). This year all three were gone. When senior outfielder Kim Sloat left because of a schedule too busy for both school and softball, one thing became certain. If the WRams were going to repeat their trip to the na- tional playoffs, they would have to do it with freshmen and sophomores, and they ' d have to do it with defense. And when the 19 83 season was history, the WRam defense had proven itself up to the task, taking URI all the way to the NCAA Cham- pionships in the team ' s first year under NCAA supervision. Only after two marathon defensive gems with defending national champion UCLA did the WRams finally bow out and call it a season. For their efforts, the WRams had earned a 28-13 mark (the most wins ever by a URI softball squad). All season long, the Rhody offense had trouble filling the scoreboard with anything but zeroes. Runs came few and far between. Indeed, the defense kept URI in many games (22 of the WRams ' 41 contests were decided by one run) and prevented a potentially disastrous season from materializing. A big part of the defensive effort which made the WRams such a tough opponent was the emergence of the pitching staff (which posted a staff ERA of 0.95), as Whidden, along with senior Bonnie Rocque and freshman Cathy Bade turned a question mark into 28 W ' s. Whidden was, by far, the workhorse of the staff, posting a 14-6 record and a 1.22 ERA in 154.3 in- nings of work. Suffering from control problems early in the season, Whid- den peaked toward the end as she had done in 1982, keeping opposing batters off balance as her newly- acquired change up improved. A master at switching speeds Rocque, used mainly as a reliever ir past seasons, was the hard luck pitch- er of the staff in the early going, giv- ing up just 10 runs (seven earned) in her first eight starts, and taking home a 2-6 record. But, behind a body con- ditioned by Nautilus in the off season, increased velocity, her changeup and a little more hitting from her teammates, Rocque battled back to win five straight and end the season at 7-6 with a 0.77 ERA. Bade, brought by head coach Nano Langham (145-61-1 as the Rhody coach) from Boonton, New Jersey was worked into the lineup slowly And after lasting just 2.6 innings in her first start as a WRam, the freshman got hot, giving up just five runs the rest of the season and establishing a 7-1 mark, along with a ERA of 0.56. When WRams did hit, much of the offensive output came off the bat oi senior catcher Debbie Moberger, who finished the year at .305 with 21 RBI ' s (leading the team in both categories). The best example of the WRams 162 Softball WRams to NCAA ' s i conomical run scoring are the stats f the team ' s second-best RBI pro- ucer, freshman outfielder Maggie mith, who knocked in 20 runs while •atting just .219. Smith was the per- sonification of the term clutch dur- ing the season, coming through time after time with runners in scoring position. Freshman outfielder Tracy Turner also added generously to the overall Rhody attack. Despite cooling off after a sizzling start, Turner (.264) contributed more than her share, her 17 runs scored second only to senior shortstop Sue Marino ' s 18. The 1983 season opened as it had a I year before, with the WRams utiliz- I ing a fundraising effort to finance a trip to South Carolina. For getting their first real taste of the sod and dirt of a softball diamond, the WRams did fairly well, bringing a 3-3 record back to Kingston and having already established themselves as a strong, defense-oriented team. Next, Whidden and Rocque teamed up in a sweep of Central Connecticut before Rhody headed for University Park, PA and the Penn State Invita- tional. UR1 won four of six at the in- vitational, but managed only a second-place finish as Adelphi blanked the WRams 1-0 in the tourney final. At that point, Rhody was 9-5. After taking two from C.W. Post, splitting with the University of Massachusetts and dropping a pair to Rutgers (to move to 12-8), URI went on a tear. In the span of a month, Rhody played 19 games, winning all but three. Among the 16 wins were victories over Bryant College and Providence College; wins which earned URI its sixth-straight state title (the WRams have taken the trophy in each of Langham ' s six years as head coach). Two of the losses came at the hands of Rutgers and Penn State during the Atlantic 10 Conference Champion- ships, as the WRams battled their way from the loser ' s bracket (after a 1-0 opening-round loss to Rutgers) to the final by avenging the loss to the Lady Knights, 4-3. In the final, though, top-seeded Rhody lost the crown to PSU as the Nittany Lions handed the WRams a 2-1 defeat. Although not victorious in the ATC ' s, URI was granted an invitation to the NCAA Championships. The bid, however, was not an automatic one. The WRams were left to sweat it out while the NCAA selection com- mittee made its choice. Because they finished ahead of Rutgers in the ATC ' s, in effect winning the regional championship (PSU is not in the same region as URI and Rutgers), the ATC ' s became a determining factor. The WRams would keep playing, the Lady Knights would stay home. The luck of the draw pitted Rhody against UCLA, which was seeded Softball 163 second going into the tournament. The WRams clearly would not be the favorite in the best-of-three, opening-round series, but a great ad- vantage would be in Rhody ' s corner, home field advantage. The selection of four California teams (UCLA, Cal State, Fullerton, Cal State, Fresno and Cal State, Pomona) left the regions containing PSU and URI without a host team which an NCAA rule demands). Therefore, instead of sending the WRams some 3000 miles to the West Coast, the Bruins would do the opposite, come to Kingston. UCLA brought with it a fearsome duo of hurlers who had pitched the team to an awesome 35-5 record (17-3 conference mark) over the course of the season. Sophomores Debbie Doom and Tracy Compton carried a 0.17 team ERA into Kingston, and with URI not boasting much of an of- fensive threat, an easy sweep looked to be in the making, at least to out- siders. The WRams knew they had a chance. They realized that, in categories other than pitching, Rhody matched up surprisingly well with the defending champs. So the only real difference was pitching. And, as UCLA was to find out, the difference wasn ' t all that great. The story of the series: the super defense of URI along with the in- spired pitching of Lori Whidden vs. a sea of heat from Doom and Compton. In the end. Doom and Compton won, but the WRams had earned a moral victory (each game went to extra frames) and a great deal of respect, both from UCLA and the com- paritively large crowd in attendance (many of the spectators had never seen the WRams in action before). In game one, Compton was just too overpowering, with the URI hitters never really catching up to her pitches. The lone Rhody hit was a line-drive single by Moberger, as 18 WRams went down on strikes against Compton. Meanwhile, UCLA outlasted the URI defense, scoring the winning run on an infield hit in the ninth. The second game was similar to, but longer than the first. Whidden, who had pitched all nine innings to absorb the first-game loss, entered the second after eight shutout in- nings from Rocque. For UCLA, Com- pton had come on to replace the in- jured Doom in the fifth and again it was Whidden against Compton. Un- fortunately, the result was the same. UCLA took game, set and match with another 1-0 win in 12 innings. With the issue decided, four WRams left the field for the final time in a URI uniform, team captain Jen- nifer Mannin (third base), Rocque, Marino and Moberger. URI will lose experience, leadership, inspiration and a ton of ability as these four move on, qualities which cannot be easily replaced. But as the players who first helped the WRams became national contenders begin to leave URI, the younger players will be able to draw from the experiences of 1983 to keep what is becoming a dynasty alive. The seniors will take much when they go, but all they ' ve given to their teammates won ' t fade when they ' re gone. Next year ' s squad will be a young one. Second baseman, Janet Simmons will be the only senior on a team which will again have to fill gaping holes in its lineup. Whidden and Bade will be back, though, so the WRams ' pitching will provide a strong foundation to build on. Anc with a lot of work, more scrappy pla) and a little luck, the URI softball team may again see the NCAA champion- ships in 1984. Steven St. Angelo 164 Softball f «1 Rookie Spikers Excel This season was a very unusual one for the URI Women ' s volleyball team — there were eight freshmen on the roster. Nevertheless, the young Rams handled a tough competitive schedule in 1982-83 and finished with a record of 26 wins and 23 losses. Some of the powerhouses they faced included Texas, Arl- ington, Rutgers, Penn State and Purdue (ranked 11th nationally). One of the highlights of the season was a 16-team tournament in Maryland in which the WRams finished third behind Penn State and Rutgers University. The following weekend the team cap- tured its own crown by whipping the University of Pennsylvania in two straight games in the finals of the URI Invitational. Two URI freshmen — Diane Hull and Sue Scott — were named to the all- tournament team for their outstan- ding play during the tourney. Scott led the Rhody attack again later in the season when the W Rams competed in the Atlantic 10 Conference championships. She was the only freshman — and the only URI player — named to the all-tournament team. Some individuals statistics: Ginny O ' Brien spearheaded the offensive attack for URI with a 32 percent hitting average (195 kills in 442 attempts). Scott was next in line with 359 kills in 947 attempts for a 22 percent average. She also led the team with 61 service aces. Diane Garceau balanced the team ' s middle attack with 33 solo blocks and 41 service aces. Nancy Nydam had an outstanding season on back row defense and service passing. Freshman setter Anne Hull did a fine job setting up the Rhody at- tack and served up 51 aces. On the season, the WRams com- piled a 19 percent hitting average (1205 kills in 3400 attempts) and 281 service aces. The WRams are losing three seniors — Jonina Stern, Leslie Morales and Tammy Sutton — but the youth of this year ' s team will definitely be an advantage over the next few seasons. Sue Scott Volleyball 165 Brown Paces Ram Tracks ters Despite the indoor track bubble collapse the men ' s track season can be described as successful. As a result of the collapse the team had little chance to work together as a team. However, the URI indoor track has an overall winning dual meet record of 5-1. Additionally, URI placed second in the Milrose games and had four winners in the New England Championships. Seniors Butch Brown and Tom Harrington along with sophomore Greg Hale all gained first place titles at the New Englands in the 800, 600, and 3000 meter runs. Also the 1600 meter relay team of Harr- ington, Hamilton, Gilman Brown and Butch Brown placed first with a time of 3:18:13. Earning four win- ning titles in the New Englands was the highest number of firsts ever obtained by URI in one season. Qualifying for the impressive IC4A ' s were track members Butch Brown, Tom Harrington, Joseph Patrone, and Patrick Egan. Butch Brown came in second in the 800 and Joseph Patrone placed fifth in the high leap. Butch went on in the NCAA ' s where he placed sixth in the 800 with a time of 1.52.7. Butch was also named all American in the 800 meter run for the second time and the chance of competing in the 84 and 88 Olym- pics seems possible. The Outdoor season was also successful with an overall dual meet record of 3-1. The outdoor season began on the right foot when URI picked up two gold medals in the Colonial relays. The medals were won by the sprint medley relay team of Tom Harr- ington, John Hamilton, Gilman Brown, and Butch Brown and by high jumper Joe Patrone. In the Penn. Relays, URI ' s Pat Egan finished fifth in the hammer and Patrone finished seventh in the high jump. Also, Dave Read was second in the college division ' s hammer. 166 Track Track 167 Women ' s Track Team Looks Forward to 1984 The 1983 Women ' s Track Team was composed of many young” members. The team was coached by Lauren Anderson and assistant coach Pat Nicol. To begin the season ULI sponsored the URI In- vitational which is a non-scoring meet in which the girls can com- pete without the pressure of the regular season ' s meets. The meet was run successfully and seems to be a great way to start off the season. Although the times turned in by URI were not terrific the girls definitely showed talent, especially so early in the season. The bubble collapse also pro- vided another hurdle the girls had to overcome as the team had dif- ficulty practicing. Since the team was composed of so many young people the indoor season could be described as preparation for the outdoor season. Additionally the team was small and there were not often enough members to compete in all events. However the practice paid off as the team opened the outdoor season with a third place finish behind Brown and Yale and ahead of Providence College. Despite the lack of number and the youth of the team the girls broke some records and turned in some fine performances. Addi- tionally the youth of this year ' s team will probably be to the team ' s advantage next year.

Michelle Coyne managed to tie Suzanne Laurie ' s previously set school record of 8.9 on the balance beam. Coyne ' s consistently amaz- ing performances brought her to establish a new all-around record by accumulating a total of 34.95 points in the team ' s last meet of the season. Coached by Charles Connery and assistant coaches Teddie Davis and Kim Lewis, the team pro- gressed through the season with each meet proving to build on the last. Through the hard work and determination of the women, and the continued optimism of the coaches, the team reached their highest team point total of 168.9 in the final meet of the season against the University of Connecticut and the University of Bridgeport. The excitement didn ' t stop there. The energy and enthusiasm that swept throughout the URI team at the Atlantic Ten Conference Cham- pionships was the icing on the cake for the WRam ' s season. Elaine Sacks broke the URI school record in the floor exercises with an astonishing score of 9,15. With only the loss of Senior cap- tain Kim Dolecki, the team looks forward to a successful season next year with a continuation of consis- tent performances by sophomores Trish Johnson in side horse vaulting, and Linda Castor on the balance beam.

Each new year brings with it a seemingly endless review of the old year; each birthday or anniversary, a look back to past celebrations. And in all of these reflections, one theme dominates: CHANGE. So, with graduation close at hand, each of us will spend countless hours remembering the times we ' ve had and the things we ' ve learned, and mostly, how we ' ve changed. Yet it is not only us who have changed, but also our environment. In fact, it matters little how each of us as individuals changes compared with our total impact on the things we change. Take as an example, our campus. Through the course of four long years (in some cases lasting 54 months or more) we have walked many paths from building to building, living always by the rule that the shortest distance be- tween two points is a straight line. And all too often, this shortest path does not coincide with the cement walks University officials are kind enough to provide us. Yet none of us ever stops to think and follow the walkways because two tiny feet never seem capable of harming the grass. What we fail to realize is that our path is walked by many feet, and together we become a destructive force. The result of our insensitivity to the campus is an ever increasing number of cement paths slowly but surely choking off the greenery around us. I am not writing this, though, to dissuade people from walking on the grass. The point to be made is that we, as graduates, must be aware of the impact we can make as parts of a whole. The changes aren ' t sudden, nor are they often noticeable all at once, but they will happen and we will help shape them. Therefore, we must choose our paths carefully, walking on established paths that take longer to follow unless we are sure a new path would be beneficial to others. Everyone fan- cies the idea of choosing their own destiny and being their own person. Perhaps in this day and age it is time to start thinking of others and be more aware of our destinies together. What we must prevent is allowing our world to become a cement palace where the insen- sitivity of our actions is reflected in our government, our foreign relations, our prejudices and in all of the things that make up our world.

It seems only fitting that URI ' s senior honor society adopts the name for its own. Mortar Board members are recognized for their academic records as well as their extra-curricular achievements. The organization serves fellow students through various projects, primarily the publication of a senior booklet filled with valuable survival and success hints for seniors. Mortar Board also involves itself in communi- ty projects. This year, members helped with the wheelchair Olympics held at URI in the spring.

CAREER SERVICES Preparing for a career after col- lege is not an easy thing, so the staff at Career Services tries its best to make that task easier for URI students by offering them helpful services. One of the services offered is career workshops. These workshops focus on interviewing techniques, resume writing and skills assess- ment. Most seniors also complete a workshop in recruiting so they can partake in on-campus interviews with recruiters from around the country. Another service offered to students is a resume critique ser- vice. Resumes are fully critiqued by Career Assistants within 48 hours and returned to students with helpful suggestions. This is but one of the duties of Career Assistants at Career Services. The CA ' s are student workers with the office who undergo an ex- tensive one-week training session during the summer and help students during the fall and spring semesters. Besides critiquing resumes, the CA ' s also conduct many workshops, coordinate events and help students with career plans. The main backbone of Career Ser- vices is its staff of professional career counselors. These trained counselors are available to talk with students and guide them down the career path that is best for them. They also interact with the Cooperative Extension in Pro- vidence and teach a Career Development Seminar that is of- fered each semester to students. Career Services sponsored two major events during the 1982-83 academic year. The first, held in September, was entitled ET: Educating for Tomorrow and was a fair for academic majors. Over 700 URI students attended the day-long event in which over 40 departmen- tal majors were represented. Another major undertaking was a symposia series entitled Symposia ' 83 that was held from January to March. Nine academic areas were represented by guest speakers in various careers. Students learned more about their future careers from experts in their respective fields. The symposiums were well attended and received, and may become an annual event. Students come to realize that Career Services does not supply them with jobs, but rather with the means to go out and find employ- ment. Most graduating seniors are grateful for the frequent services that have helped them plot out their future careers at Career Ser- vices and its staff is just as proud of its accomplishments, Kevin Sylvester Career Services 259 260 Human Science Services Susan E.

Wood Nursing Nursing Randee Ellen Yogel Nursing 278 Nursing ’Yogel Dear Mom and Dad: I can ' t believe it — in a few months I ' ll be graduating. Remember me? I ' m the one who wouldn ' t get out of the car when you brought me here four years ago. Has it really been four years? You were right. Mom . . . time does go faster as you get older. I remember thinking that four years was an eternity and I didn ' t know if I was going to make it. I feel as though I have changed a lot since my freshman year, but not really — if you know what I mean. I ' d like to think that I ' m not only a bit older, but a bit wiser too. Things that at one time seemed so important to me have now taken a back seat in my life. I recall living in the dorm and the ritual of going to the dining halls. Remember when I pledged a sorority? I was so caught up in it. Greek life was all so new and exciting. Two years of Greek Sing, frat parties, toga par- ties, sisters ' meetings and endless good times. Then it was time for the big move. I ' m glad you finally agreed to let me live down-the- line, even though I almost froze to death. And thank goodness for soup, tuna fish and macaroni and cheese. I really have had some mem- orable times here at URI though. I ' ll always look back and think of them with a smile on my face. And friends — friends that I ' ll always treasure. You can ' t help but love them when you ' re all thrown into the same setting and you live, eat, sleep, study and dream together. I ' m so afraid I ' m going to lose contact with them — but I ' m not going to let that happen. I just won ' t. I wish I could tell them how much they mean to ne, but I would feel funny — so it goes left unsaid. But I think — I hope — that they must know. To tell the truth, I ' m kind of scared to go out into, pardon the expression, the real world. It ' s almost like starting all over again as a freshman. Just when you know all the rules and the loopholes, just when you ' ve mastered it all ... they tell you, Game ' s Over! Graduate! I was so nervous during my first interview . . . my palms were sweaty and every other word out of my mouth was Umm ... Ac- tually, I thought it went pretty well overall. If only I hadn ' t trip- ped on my way out the door. I know there ' s an undiscovered world out there waiting for me. I ' m curious about what the future holds for me. Will I like my job? Will I become a successful career woman? Will I find that special someone and, of all thing, get married? Friends are starting to break away, making their plans. Some already have jobs in various states, other are getting married and then there are always those in limbo. I never did thank you. Mom and Dad, for all the support, emotional as well as financial, that you have given me. I just hope some day I can repay you. What worries me is this: What makes me any different from the millions of other people graduating this year? I want to make my mark in life. I want to be successful. I guess everyone does, but everyone has his own defini- tion of success and happiness to fulfill. Some day, I just want to be able to think, yes, I did make a dif- ference on this earth. I did ac- complish something in my lifetime. This is only the begin- ning, and I have many years ahead of me to do this, and I will. I will make you proud of me some day.

The end of the life of a college undergraduate, and the beginn- ing of a whole new way of life! The students worked hard during their college years, yet they played hard too. A healthy com- bination of the two helped each toward the achievement of their degree. To help celebrate graduation, and to give the students one solid week of fun to add to their memories upon leaving — SENIOR WEEK . . . Come Together . . . Saturday, May 21. Seniors con- gregated in the Memorial Union Ballroom for a Happy Hour to kick off the week of celebration. Old friends, many whose paths had not crossed in recent months, relived old times. Faces and fond memories had definitely not been forgotten. A Day in the Life . . . Sunday, May 22. A day filled with fun and excitement. The seniors were treated to a Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins game at Fenway Park, and then were free to explore the highlights of Boston for the rest of the afternoon. Later, the class of 1983 reunited at Who ' s on First for a Happy Hour. A perfect ending to a perfect day. 302 Senior Week With a Little Help from my Friends ... Monday, May 23. The Ram ' s Den, transformed to represent the days of yore, was the setting for the Medieval Dinner. Friends laughed together as many of the seniors became subjects for the courts ' good-natured humor. The lack of utensils served with the feast added to the hilarity of the event. Here comes the Sun . . . Tuesday, May 24. The sun tried its best to be present at the tradi- tional New England Clambake, but only managed to occasionally peak through the clouds. However, the rain held off, and 625 seniors had a great day at the Columbian Father ' s Seminary in Bristol. A good time had by all. Magical Mystery Tour . . . Wednesday, May 25. The week- long party continued, and on this night, 800 seniors climbed aboard the boat in Galilee for the Hawaiian Cruise. Lasting four hours, the tour allowed the passengers to enjoy both the Jamestown and Newport shorelines. Also spotted was a view of the sun setting along the Narragansett Bay. Senior Week 303 All You Need Is Love . . . Thursday, May 26. A romantic evening full of elegance and excite- ment, took place at the Viking Hotel in Newport. The seniors, together once again, danced the night away, accompanied by music from A Roomful of Blues. Hello, Goodbye . . . Friday, May 27. One final fling for the seniors before graduation. A bountiful champagne brunch was prepared and served in a beautiful- ly decorated Ram ' s Den. Copyright, 1982, G. B. Trudeau. Reprinted with permission of Universal Press Syndicate. All rights reserved. 304 Seniors An abundance of foods, such as quiches, chicken wings and pastries, were available at the meal. Many champagne toasts were made to graduation and to friendships. It ' s Getting Better All the Time . . . Graduation followed Senior Week. This day signified the start of exciting new careers for many. The graduates of 1983 have a lot to look forward to — CONGRATULATIONS. Seniors 305 306 Seniors Seniors 307 Seniors 309 Julie Matrullo The 1983 Renaissance Executive Staff Joann Muller Trish Gingras Peter Miniati 310 1983 Executive Staff Joy Caslowitz Marcia Dollins Nancy Abrams Jean McLaughlin Chris Byrne Renaissance Staff 311 Acknowledgments The Good 5 t Cigar Theater Department Student Activities Office Irene Nelson and the scheduling office Information Desk staff Jim Norman and Sports Information Mrs. Nye Mel Murphy Jane Thierfield U.S. Army Alumni Association Universal Press Syndicate The Registrar ' s Office Providence Journal-Bulletin Well, the book is finally finish- ed — at last! One year ago, when 1 was asked to be the Editor in Chief, I never thought that the job was going to entail so much time, energy, and work. But now as 1 write this farewell to a long year, I can say that this year has been an experience in many ways. As Editor in Chief, I learned so much about the URI campus and the people here at URI (the right ones and the wrong ones). There are so many different things to know about this campus — the way the system is operated and the many things that go on at and around URI. If people look deep enough, they can see that there is a variety of things that are offered here for them. This is what the Renaissance tries to accomplish. Pick out the qualities that make the University so different and put this under one binder every year. This is the theme of the 1983 Renaissance — The Big Difference. URI has so much to offer but everything it offers is so different to each individual. The University has something to offer for everyone; that ' s what makes it a university — its specifics and its generalities. There may be a lot of- fered here at URI but the com- munity has to accept the offer for its goal to be achieved. Without the acceptance of the offer, there is no need for a university because specifics would not be necessary. In other words, go out and get in- volved! Be a part of the Universi- ty. It can make a Big Difference! Though it is difficult to see ex- actly what is so different about your school from the rest, we can see some of the advantages that we have that many schools in Rhode Island and other states do not have. From our idiosyncracies to our uniqueness, from the Col- lege of Business Administration to the College of Pharmacy and from Providence to Kingston, URI has many diversifications that make it one of the best schools of higher learning in the area. And from all this, I am proud to present to the student body of the University of Rhode Island the 1983 Renaissance with all of its diversifications from previous years, one being its im- provement, as the pattern has shown from year to year. 312 Staff Candids and Acknowledgments Though it was my honor to be the Editor in Chief, the yearbook cannot be published by one per- son, although it has been tried. It takes the dedicated people who will not be shy to give up a night out or one less hour of studying for that ever-important exam. The backbone of every yearbook staff is the literary and’ photographic contributors. Without them, the jobs of each editor would be much more difficult. To all of them, 1 give my heartfelt thanks. For those photographers who did not show up for just the big events, you have my gratitude and . . . Would you like a position on the staff next year? The most difficult part of the credits is where to start. Overall, the year was not bad, but not the best either. Something we can credit ourselves with is that we never made one deadline on time. That ' s if this can be called a credit! The staff was made up of a variety of personalities, which is necessary to produce a quality yearbook. However, through thick and thin and many staff changes, we finally came through to publish the 1983 Renaissance. In the Business Department, Trish Gingras kept a tight control over the expenses and made sure that with this being our first year of pre-ordering, the process was running smoothly. This was a big job for Trish because we never had any experience in this method and it became a learning experience for all of us. Besides taking care of all of our business matters, she also was my right-hand person who helped out whenever and wherever (The Cuproom) possible. In the Sports department, Pete Miniati had a solid grip on the day-to-day happenings in the URI sports world which definitely made his job much easier. Through his experience on year- books, he also produced some of the nicer layouts in the book and was still able to amuse us with his wit! In the Activities section, Chris Byrne had her problems with the many organizations that did not want to cooperate with her by scheduling an appointment for a group picture and or submitting the copy for a description of the group. However, she was able to do the best with what she had to work with even though some of her outlays were out of this world! In the Senior section, Co-Editors Karen Gross and Chris Curtin were able to use their imagina- tions to the advantage of the Renaissance and produce a Senior section that has topped the ones of past years. Their work is what keeps us working into the summer to enable the yearbook to cover the Senior events every year. However, this year, the work was on a long-distance basis — bet- ween New Jersey, Newport, War- wick, and Kingston. Even with our obstacles, they were still able to produce a creative section of the 1983 Renaissance. For the Copy portion of the book, Joann Muller did more than her share of the work. Even though she was on the staff for only one semester, her quality and quantity far surpassed any member of the staff. She was our shining star for the ramainder of the year. There was never any de- mand too big for her and she always came through with one of her talented pieces of work for even the most menial topic. Thank you, Joann, for making the 1983 Renaissance possible. To my sidekick through the summer months, Julie Matrullo, Photography Editor, who learned more about yearbooks in two months than she ever planned on learning. She also learned how to put up with me, especially when it started to get too warm down in the first floor of the Union. And not to leave her on a pedestal, I learned how to put up with her; being the perfectionist that she is, every picture met with her critical eye for an inspection. Not too many got past her. Without Julie, the yearbook would have been coming out in 1984 instead of 1983. By the end of the line, she became more of an Assistant Editor than a Photography Editor. Thanks Julie! To all of the Assistant Editors: Joy Caslowitz, Jean McLaughlin, Marcia Dollins, and Nancy Abrams, thank you for the time that you put into the production of the 1983 Renaissance. To John DeWaele of T. D. Brown, thank you for all of your patience and quality that helped us produce another volume of the Renaissance. To Karen Devitt of Taylor Publishing Company, thank you for putting up with all of the stupid questions that always seemed to pop up over the year, and to your help and guidance. To Bruce Hamilton, our advisor, thank you for the advice that you gave for our business matters. And don ' t forget, you still owe us lunch! To my friends who helped me through the year as the Editor in Chief and a student, I owe you much more than words but that ' s all I have, so thank you. To my parents and family who stood by me through this year of late hours and little sleep, thanks for putting up with me. I know it wasn ' t easy! To my fellow graduates, the best of luck always. Enjoy your year- book. Remember to wipe the dust off it every now and then just to remember the good times! We had a lot of fun producing the 1983 Renaissan ce for you. We hope you have as much enjoyment with it as we did. ■OHS Kenny Elmer Editor in Chief Editor ' s Message 313 It ' s been said all good things must come to an end. But that ' s not necessarily true. Memories never end. They live forever. Sure, it ' s true our years at URI have come to an end. We are leav- ing this place now and some of us may never return. Still, we know deep in our hearts that we need not say ' goodbye. ' Because although some of us may never set foot on this campus again, we will return over and over again in our minds. Our memories of URI are like precious jewels in a treasure chest. With our hearts as the key, we can open that chest, cherish the jewels and forever relive our joyous days here. A special bond exists between each individual and this Universi- ty that reflects the vivid memories we hold from our days here. At the same time, another bond is shared by every person connected with the University: the students, staff and faculty who have spent a por- tion of their lives here and who share a common love for it. Neither bond is easily broken, and in many ways, grows stronger over time. While each of us has chosen to follow different paths for the future, none of us will forget treading the common paths worn across the Quad. And while most of us will be fortunate enough to never again taste dining hall food, the sudden image of Fish-a-la-Rita is likely to bring a smile or a chuckle some day. There are things we just won ' t forget: the glory days of the Pub, Saturday afternoon football games, parties down-the-line and walks on the beach. There are other things we would probably like to forget: 8 o ' clock classes, lines at the Bookstore, Drop-Add in Keaney and Friday morning exams. But these too are part of our ex- periences at URI. Closing US We went through a lot of changes here — from that first day as timid freshmen when we walked across the Quad for the first time, to that day four years later when we crossed the Quad a final time at Commencement. For most of us, it all started in September 1979 when we con- verged on this beautiful rural cam- pus in southern Rhode Island — each of us bringing different at- titudes, impressions and backgrounds. We had a little trouble getting started that year. A faculty strike delayed the beginning of classes by almost three weeks. But we were resourceful; we found other things to keep us busy. During the day we could catch the last sum- mer rays at Narragansett Beach, and at night there were parties — in the dorms, at the frats and down-the-line. In a way, we were fortunate to have that extra time to get to know one another without the hassles and confusion of schoolwork to get in the way. The friendships born during that time were lasting ones. Once school finally began, we were rudely awakened by the discovery that we were no longer in high school. Many of us had to reassess our study habits to sur- vive in this very different academic atmosphere. We learned what it ' s like to read six chapters in one night or to write a 20-page term paper for a professor who happens to be an expert on everything. And, with a pot of cof- fee nearby, we learned how to stay up all night cramming for an exam. Our social habits changed, too. Most of us managed to discipline ourselves to study hard Sunday through Wednesday nights, leav- ing ourselves free for Thursday nights at The Willows and weekend parties. 316 Closing As we grew older and more nature, we found ourselves faced vith challenging realities. We roasted through our general education requirements and then suddenly found it was time to declare our majors. Meanwhile, unding for education was dwindl- ng and URI tuition was rising to National highs. As graduation approached, we ealized there was more to life han studying and college social events. The ' ' future suddenly became more tangible. We focused jur energies on getting a job in vhat was described as the worst f ear for college graduates since Vorld War II. We managed to survive somehow. We owe a lot to the Jniversity (in more ways than me!). It has given us the knowledge and motivation we need to make it in a challenging World. Although at graduation job pro- spects looked dismal for many of us, we knew that URI had prepared us well for success. It was only a matter of time in this tough economy that we would get the jobs we wanted . . . because URI graduates are special. The Big Difference the Universi- ty boasts — its outstanding faculty, nationally recognized programs and exceptional students — is what makes us so special. As we leave URI, we are ready to carry with us everything we have gain- ed here and use it to make our own Big Difference in society — through our leadership abilities, our achievements and our per- sonal ambitions.
